Recruiting Board Members

Presented by:
Sonia Saleh, Uplifting Nonprofits

Is your board stuck in a cycle of “We need more people” followed by... crickets? Especially if you want them to fundraise too.

​

Too often, board recruitment sounds like:
“Do you know anyone rich who might join?”

But building a productive, fundraising-engaging board takes more than wealth or a big title. It takes the right people—those who care, commit, and contribute.

​

In this 45-minute session, you’ll get the tools to empower your board members to take the lead in recruitment—without awkwardness, pressure, or confusion.

​

🎯 You’ll learn how to:

• Help your board identify who they're really looking for (spoiler: not just a CPA, attorney, or a C-Suite name)

• Shift the mindset from “filling a seat” to “extending an opportunity”

• Share your board’s impact in a way that excites and inspires potential recruits

This session gives you a practical and replicable approach to board recruitment that you can share with your current members.

​

✨ The result? A stronger, more active board—built by the people who know what it takes to serve.
