Why it Matters

Only 28% of boards place a high priority on “membership within the community served” as part of board recruitment.
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.
Board Diversity helps to increase the double bottom line of mission and money.
“Now that my children are older, one of my goals was to get more involved in the community. A friend referred me to the Alaska Board Match. I built a profile which includes sharing what you are personally passionate about. Now, I sit on four boards within the community, all thanks to this great service. ”

“AK Board Match was very easy to use and connected me quickly with a non-profit that I was passionate about! I’ve never had a process that went so smoothly before. This is a great tool that is very much needed. I’m excited to now be on a board and serve the people who protect and rehabilitate the birds of Alaska that so many Alaskans and visitors watch and enjoy.”

“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.”
