Board Match Washington DC
Board Match is a networking event providing nonprofit organizations an opportunity to meet with hundreds of highly qualified board candidates from major employers, across industries including: Technology, Financial Services, Legal, Real Estate, Marketing/PR, Government, Education, Health Care and more.

We select nonprofits through an application process that identifies your specific needs.
