As a board candidate, you most likely want to find board positions that align with your skills, causes, location, and other factors. The Open Board Position page includes the nonprofit name, location, and description of the position to help you find relevant matches.

You can filter board positions by causes or skills, position type, time or donation commitment, board maturity or size, nonprofit budget, or location.

When you select the board position title, the board position page has additional details about the position and the nonprofit. The three main components of this page include Express Interest, Bookmark, and Remove from my lists.

The Express Interest button lets the nonprofit know you're interested in their board opportunity. To express interest in a board opportunity:

1. Go to Board Positions and select the Nonprofit and board position you're interested in.

2. Click Express Interest.

3. Use the Interest Level dropdown to indicate your interest level.

4. Edit the name and email field as necessary.

5. Enter a message to send to the nonprofit about yourself and your interest in the position.

6. Attach a CV, Resume, or any other relevant documents as necessary. After you send the message you'll see "You have expressed interest" for that opportunity. You can always review your submitted expressions of interest from the Messages menu.

When a nonprofit replies to your expression of interest, you receive an email with the contact's name, phone number, and email address if provided. You can contact them directly or continue using the site's messaging system by selecting the "Reply to [contact name]" button in the email.

If you use the site's messaging system, you don't need to be logged in to reply. Complete the reply form as necessary.
