Beyond the Board Seat: A Smarter Framework for Recruiting the Right Board Members

About this event

In this session about recruiting the right board members, Brandon will introduce the Five Capitals framework, a practical approach to identifying board candidates based on the types of value they can bring to an organization, including financial, relational, intellectual, physical, and spiritual capital. Attendees will leave with a fresh way to evaluate prospective board members and build stronger, more effective boards, especially in education, healthcare, and community-based nonprofit settings.
