How Serving on a Nonprofit Board Makes You a Better Business Professional
Whether you're an management consultant, banker, attorney, manager, accountant, or other executive or professional, serving on a nonprofit board will help you do your job better.
Wendy Wysong, Partner at Clifford Chance, explained to me the following: "My experience serving on the boards of two nonprofit organizations, EngenderHealth and the Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital, has given me a valuable perspective for my professional work, representing and providing legal advice to corporations. The governance, audit, and ethics issues with which the nonprofit boards deal are directly analogous to those of corporate boards. Accordingly, when I make presentations to my clients' boards of directors to explain pending legal matters, I can focus on the issues that would and should concern them most."
