WHAT: Boards-by-Design
is hosting a ”Nonprofit Speed Dating” event
in conjunction with the New Trustees for a New
Pittsburgh.
An innovative and comprehensive nonprofit board-matching
program, Boards-by-Design is designed to benefit
nonprofits, businesses and individuals by connecting
nonprofit organizations with qualified board candidates.
Similar to actual speed dating, individual nonprofit
representatives and potential board candidates
will sit with each other during this event for
five-minute increments to learn more about each
other. When the bell rings after five minutes,
the individual candidates will move to the next
table with a nonprofit representative. The
candidates and nonprofits will find out the next
day how many “matches” were made during
the speed-dating event.
Nonprofits attending the speed-dating event include
the American Liver Foundation, Crisis Center North,
Junior Achievement, Pittsburgh CLO, Sarah Heinz
House and the Wilkins School Community Center,
among others.
Boards-by-Design works to help organizations
diversify the age, race, gender and physical abilities
of board members. Boards-by-Design is a program
of the Nonprofit Leadership Institute in the School
of Leadership and Professional Advancement at Duquesne
University.
WHERE: Bossa Nova, 123 Seventh St.,
Downtown
WHEN: Tuesday, Feb. 6, 6
p.m., registration, 6:30
