Board service should be mutually beneficial—adding value for the potential board member, the existing board, and the organization’s mission. Encouraging prospective members to reflect on their readiness for service can lead to valuable conversations before they join the team. This checklist provides considerations for individuals exploring board membership. Each organization is encouraged to adapt and expand these items to reflect its unique culture, expectations, and responsibilities.
