Boardroom Ready: What Makes a Good Nonprofit Board Member?
Jan 13, 2027
08:30 AM

Join The Forum and its Nonprofit Leaders Peer Circle for a thoughtful and informational panel discussion on non-profit board readiness and what truly makes an impactful nonprofit board member.

 

The panel will explore questions including:

  • What do nonprofit organizations need from their board members and where does the gap most often show up?
  • What does board readiness training reveal about what professionals do (and don’t) understand before they join a board? 
  • How do civic leadership pipelines translate professional talent into board-ready candidates
  • What does deep, dual-sector board experience teach you that no training program can?
  • How can the Forum’s network of senior women leaders strengthen Philadelphia’s nonprofit boards? 

 

Featuring:

Soneyet Muhammad(Moderator) | Chief Programs Officer, 

Claire Robertson-Kraft| Founder and Director of ImpactEd

Kara Wentworth, Ph.D. | Executive Director of The Nonprofit Center

Wendy-Anne Roberts-Johnson| President & CEO, Philadelphia Youth Network
