Why it Matters

67% of executives report that not enough time is spent by the board on building relationships within the Community that help support and inform the organization’s work.
Only 28% of boards place a high priority on “membership within the community served” as part of board recruitment.
49% of all chief executives said that they did not have the right board members to “establish trust with the communities they serve.”
“Utilizing The Foraker Group’s board match tool was not only an easy process, but a smart move! Connecting non-profits with high-quality board members not only strengthens the non-profit, but the communities we serve. We are very thankful for this fantastic tool, and will most certainly use it again.”

“As a working and volunteer-led board, using AK Board Match was an invaluable experience for our small but mighty team. Ultimately, the tool connected us with a candidate who not only brought valuable expertise we were missing but also shared our passion for our mission. Thanks to this tool, we were able to successfully vet, nominate, and onboard our newest board member, who is already making a significant impact.”

“Last year, I was interested in finding ways to get involved through board service in the Anchorage community. I was excited to learn about AK Board Match, and found it to be an easy and effective site which led to a beneficial match. I am happy to contribute to an organization that has a mission I value, and that was looking for someone with my perspective and skill set.”
