Get On Board is an initiative to train, recruit, place and retain underrepresented people on nonprofit boards of directors in Central Kentucky. Get On Board is strengthening the community by increasing diversity on nonprofit governing boards for greater board effectiveness which will ultimately build a stronger community.
Participants complete a training program that teaches board governance and other necessary skills for effective leadership. Classes meet weekly for ten weeks. There is no cost for participants. Get On Board seeks applicants who feel underrepresented on nonprofit boards of directors. Those seeking community involvement on a leadership level are urged to apply.
