SEAT CT

We have the amazing privilege to partner with the Nonprofit Resource Council of the Greater New Haven Chamber & Affiliates for a second year to make ready minority community residents for their upcoming 4th Annual Nonprofit Board & Volunteer Recruitment Fair. Through our five-week SEAT Essentials! program, residents will gain valuable skill sets, including identifying transferrable skills, understanding the nonprofit structure, exploring board governance, and preparing for board engagement. Upon program completion, graduates will network with over 40 nonprofit organizations with open board seats. Help us spread the word by sharing this leadership opportunity with community residents in the Greater New Haven area. A special thanks to the program sponsors Lumibility, Greater New Haven Chamber of Commerce, The Connection, Center for Inclusive Growth, Marrakech, Racebrook Consulting, and New Alliance Foundation.

Sharing our experiences as minority residents can greatly enhance the decisions made in community nonprofit boardrooms. If you want to use your voice but feel unsure about the necessary knowledge, join us for one of our upcoming cohorts, and we will help you prepare to be SEATed! #YourVoiceMatters #BoardTraining #CommunityDevelopment #GetSeated #LeadLocal

We’ll meet every Thursday from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM. During our sessions, you will engage in topics that will prepare you for service on nonprofit boards as a volunteer. Why is volunteering on a nonprofit board important? Because if we want to influence what happens in our neighborhoods, we must be at the decision-making table. It's that simple! #YourVoiceMatters #BoardTraining #CommunityDevelopment #GetSeated #LeadLocal
