Program Description
Join us for an engaging panel discussion on “Exploring For-Profit and Nonprofit Boards.” Examine the key differences between these two types of board service and what makes each uniquely rewarding.
Panelists, Anna Crosslin and Betsy Cohen, will delve into the criteria for service on each type of board, highlighting skills, responsibilities, and governance practices that are critical in each space.
While for-profit boards often emphasize financial performance and shareholder value, nonprofit boards focus on mission-driven outcomes and community impact. For-profit boards can include service in public and private companies.
Nonprofit boards can be an excellent steppingstone to gain experience, network, and contribute to meaningful causes, offering their own deep sense of satisfaction. Among other engagement opportunities, attendees will learn about BoardBridge, a matching program through FOCUS STL, which helps individuals connect with nonprofit boards.
Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences, fostering a collaborative and insightful discussion on the pathways and opportunities in board service.
Refreshments will be provided. Street parking will be available.
