The Board Network - Building stronger nonprofit boards in Maine


Nonprofit Services

The Board Network works with nonprofit boards and staff leadership in Maine to help assess the needs of the board, and to improve board governance.

Besides our trainings and on-site consultative workshop and providing up-to-date governance materials through our reference library and bookstore, The Board Network matches trained board candidates to nonprofit boards. (Our current service area for this program is in Greater Portland, as we expand to other regions of the state.)

To date, our trained board candidates have been matched to over 45 nonprofits in the Greater Portland area, Camden, Saco, and Augusta.

The benefits for nonprofits that participate in these programs include:

  • More effective governance, which helps to accomplish the mission.
  • The development of community resources and networks.
  • Improved accountability.
  • Connections with ongoing resources on board governance issues and questions.
  • Trained, new talent for the boardroom.
