Ashoka
Board Academy
Supporting civil and other mission-driven organizations in establishing an effective board.
The challenge
Mission-driven organizations often have dormant or passive boards that are in place simply to meet regulatory requirements.
The knowledge and professional network to identify relevant board roles and find appropriate board members for those roles is often lacking across the sector.
