Board Recruitment Plan

Project details

What we need
  • Assessment of specific Organizational needs mapped to specific board roles
  • Candidate evaluation guide for prospective board members, including suggested vetting questions and timeline
  • Marketing tools and guidance on how to execute recruitment
  • Note: This project does not include actual board recruitment on the part of the Professional
Additional details

We are looking to build a Young Professionals volunteer group as a pathway to potential Junior board membership.
Projects: fundraising for CBN, volunteering, building brand awareness and supporter network thru social media, hosting events, etc.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a Young Professionals program, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have dedicated staff, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,822 , allowing us to serve more congregate meals at all 4 of our senior centers.

Since we are an aging services organization, it is so important to provide work intergenerationally.

Our mission

Carter Burden Network promotes the well-being of seniors 60 and older through a continuum of services, advocacy, arts and culture and volunteer programs, all oriented to individual, family and community needs. We are dedicated to supporting the efforts of older people to live safely and with dignity.

What we do

Carter Burden Network (formerly The Carter Burden Center for the Aging) was established by New York City Council Member Carter Burden in 1971. Burden, who represented the Upper East Side of Manhattan, founded the Center to assist the neighborhood's large number of older residents who were poor, in declining health and isolated.

From its small beginnings with one person working in the Council office, the Carter Burden Network has grown into an agency with 13 programs in 8 locations and more than 80 employees. Now we serve approximately 5,000 seniors every year across the borough of Manhattan, with a significant expansion into East Harlem and on Roosevelt Island in the past few years.

In 2016, The Carter Burden Center for the Aging underwent a rebranding process to become the Carter Burden Network in order to reflect this growth in the size and scope of our organization.

Carter Burden is no longer one center. It is a network of centers, programs and services that work together with government, corporate, individual and community partners to lead the way in aging services in New York City.
