Example Profile
When you set up your profile, highlight your skills, expertise, interests, values, and board experience. This helps match you with boards that align with your skills and interests. A completed profile makes it easier for the board-matching algorithm to pair you with positions that align with your skills and background.
We do not share your phone or email until the nonprofit contacts you and you respond to them. This protects you and your data.
Before you respond to a nonprofit, the only thing they can see on your profile, if you filled in those fields, is:
Your name, skills, interests, and associated organization name
Your availability, education and training, background information, and experience
