Nonprofit Boards: Leadership Development for Corporate Executives

Aug 1, 2012 5:30 PM ET

Nonprofit boards provide the ultimate leadership development experience for corporate executives and business professionals. While contributing vital expertise and resources in helping to advance a mission in which they believe, business people who serve on boards gain knowledge about regional, national, and global issues that relate to business, commerce, and public policy, and develop valuable personal and professional skills.

This week, Korngold Consulting released a new nonprofit board self-assessment toolkit for boards looking to the future; here is the press
release for more information on the Board Vector Assessment Tool.
