The Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation’s nonprofit board service programs provide nonprofit leaders and their boards with the knowledge and connections to do their best work.
In the On Board: Boardroom Debates series, we pose challenging questions about nonprofit board service to Chicago Booth alumni and students. Then we discuss these issues in events and online, ultimately striving to strengthen nonprofit boards and the organizations they oversee.
The Nonprofit Leadership Circle is a peer-to-peer learning opportunity for Chicago Booth alumni to join a virtual cohort of alumni who are experienced nonprofit board members dedicated to supporting and learning from one another.
The Nonprofit Leadership Circle is organized in partnership between Chicago Booth's Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation and Harry L. Davis Center for Leadership. Sessions are facilitated by the Rustandy Center's social entrepreneurship and nonprofit board service executive in residence, Todd Connor, '07.
Our matching program connects Chicagoland nonprofits with Booth alumni who are looking to join a board.
