Board Recruitment Resources in Philadelphia and Beyond

http://dustinkidd.blogspot.com

1. Business on Board: A function of the Arts and Business Council. Provides training to prospective board members and connects them with local arts organizations.

2. Philadelphia's Young Nonprofit Leaders: Provides training and resources for staff and volunteers, including board members, for local nonprofits. "Young" is broadly defined.

3. Blue Avocado: An online magazine about non-profit boards.

4. Board Cafe Archives: The predecessor to Blue Avocado. Has a nice section on recruitment and diversity. Here's a good one.

5. BoardnetUSA: A board recruitment and placement website. Like Monster.com for boards.

6. VolunteerMatch: Similar function to BoardNet.

7. Bridgestar: Connects corporate employees to nonprofit service.

8. Eide Bailley: Non-profit toolbox. Includes a nice short article about board service.

9. BoardSource: Recruitment and Orientation resources. More resources throughout the site.

10. Wharton Nonprofit Board Leadership Program: Connects MBA students to nonprofit service.

Chime in with additional ideas and resources!

    I'm teaching a course on community arts that will have a community based learning component. Students are going to be working with an arts organization that is transitioning from a private gift to become a self-sustaining non-profit. These links will be useful! What is your interest in non-profits? Are you working with an arts org/studying them?

    Hey Carey! I'm on the board of directors for Spiral Q, an arts and social justice program in Philadelphia. We specialize in papier mache puppets that are built for rallies and protests, neighborhood parades, and school programs. http://www.spiralq.org.

    As chair of the governance committee, board recruitment is one of my major tasks.

    I had an article on democratic practices in arts orgs that came out last year in the Journal of Arts Management, Law, and Society. I also wrote an essay called “Sociological Dilemmas Facing Arts Managers in the Twenty-First Century” that came out last year in a book called The Science and Art of Cultural Management. If you need any resources for the class, let me know.

Teaching Tools

I've added two new teaching tools to my regime this semester. 1. Skitch . Skitch is both a desktop application that lets you capture images easily, and a website that allows for easy image sharing . I'll use it this semester to capture images that we can discuss in class, and to take pictures of the blackboard at the end of class (to capture interesting brainstorming sessions). I can upload the pic via email, straight from my phone, and the students will have access right away. I can use the image capture software to circle parts of the reading, charts, graphs, etc. and bring those to the surface for discussion. 2. Slideshare . This program allows you to upload PowerPoint presentations to the Web. I uploaded all of my slides for the semester to one page where they can be accessed from any computer. It allows me to worry less about carrying the slides on a USB drive or having to upload them to the course Blackboard page, which sometimes doesn't open. It also makes fo...
