Think serving on a nonprofit board is just about showing up to meetings and giving your two cents? Think again.

In this video, I'm tackling some of the most common myths I hear about nonprofit board service—and sharing what it actually takes to be an effective, engaged board member in 2025 and beyond.

Whether you're currently on a board, considering joining one, or leading a nonprofit that's trying to energize its board—this is for you.

I'm breaking down:

✔ Why board service is more than just a résumé booster

✔ The truth about time commitments and responsibilities

✔ What fundraising really means for board members (spoiler: it's not just asking your friends for money)

✔ How to create a board culture that people actually want to be part of

Board service can be meaningful, rewarding, and fun—but only when the expectations are clear and the myths are cleared out of the way.
