Board service can be one of the most meaningful and influential ways to contribute your leadership, but only if you’re on the right board, and clear on how to drive value once you’re there. In this NationSwell virtual roundtable, we’ll explore how to get matched with organizations where your expertise, networks, and values can make a real difference—and how to be effective once you’re in the boardroom.

Join fellow leaders for a candid conversation on the full board journey: how to identify and pursue the right opportunities, what various types of organizations truly need from their board members, and how to show up with strategic clarity and purpose. Whether you’re seeking your first board seat or looking to strengthen your contributions, this session will surface practical guidance, peer-tested insights, and emerging norms shaping board leadership today.

To encourage open and candid discussion, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations. This ensures a trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and deeper insights.
