Non-profit board service is more than governance—it’s a transformative opportunity to refine leadership skills, expand professional networks, and create meaningful impact in the communities we serve.

Join us on July 14 for The Journey to Non-Profit Board Service, where accomplished leaders will share their firsthand experiences in navigating the path to board membership. Moderated by Robin Doyle, this engaging discussion features Sara Peña, Director of External Affairs at PSEG, and Sherise Ritter, a seasoned board leader with extensive experience across healthcare and nonprofit organizations.

 Attendees will gain insight into:

  • The pathways to securing a non-profit board seat

  • The essential qualities of a successful board member—from mission alignment to relationship-building

  • The realities of board service, including the commitments of time, talent, and financial contributions

  • Key differences between non-profit and for-profit board governance

  • How non-profit board experience can accelerate your journey to corporate board positions

If you’re looking to advance your governance expertise, deepen your leadership skills, and contribute to organizations that matter, this session is for you. Join us to uncover the invaluable benefits of non-profit board service and how it can shape your professional journey.
