DANA initiative supports network for nonprofit governance
DANA, the Delaware Alliance for Nonprofit Advancement, announced the launch of Board Connections, a one-of-a-kind matchmaking and skill development program.
This innovative initiative connects businesses with community members who wish to make meaningful impact through nonprofit board service.
By participating in Board Connections, businesses can foster a sense of community connection and fulfillment among team members, which can significantly boost employee retention. This program is a win-win for businesses, community leaders and members of the community.
"Through DANA's Board Connections program, people can find rewarding ways to give back to the community while enhancing their professional skills and networks," said Dan Davis, DANA program director. "The program exemplifies a commitment to corporate social responsibility and community engagement."
Board Connections offers a pathway for area residents to assume leadership roles and drive meaningful change within their communities.
The program also supports nonprofit organizations as a valuable resource for diversifying boards, improving board functionality and ongoing development. Nonprofits can connect with certified candidates from diverse backgrounds and skill sets, leverage the expertise of well-trained board members, and access DANA's workshops, consulting services and additional training opportunities.
As part of its ongoing support for board development, DANA provides resources like its upcoming Board Chair & CEO Nonprofit Leadership Series to provide an opportunity for the board chair and executive to reflect on strategies to engage their members strategically. Starting in September, the four-part series offers a comprehensive program designed to equip board chairs, incoming chairs and executive directors with the tools and insights necessary to navigate challenges and pursue opportunities effectively. The series provides a platform for participants to define and refine their strategies for organizational success and community impact.
