The lowdown on how to secure your very first board seat, identify suitable boards to target, develop your target list, and follow these organizations online. I have put together a target list of ten Not-For-Profit organizations that I love and believe I can add value to. I have been realistic about what boards are suitable for a first-time board director, and I am busy connecting to the board of directors and leveraging my personal network to make meaningful connections with the critical stakeholders in the business. The strategy is relatively simple to follow and execute, but it does require discipline and a longer-term mindset to deliver results.
