Board Connection

Join a Nonprofit Board in Orange County

From the Polio vaccine to the 9-1-1 emergency system to those white lines on the highway, nonprofits throughout history touch the lives of every American.

There are thousands of nonprofits in Orange County.  Each and every one of these nonprofits requires board leadership to change and strengthen our communities. YOU can play a vital role.

What do you need to know before serving on a nonprofit board?
How do you get involved?

OneOC’s Board Connection program trains and connects prospective board members with nonprofits in need.  With screening on both ends, we can help you find a nonprofit that can utilize your specific interests and skills.


Prospective Board Members:

Join us for the next Board Connection Training, an informational session on becoming a board member.  Following completion of the training, OneOC matches individuals who would like to be placed on a board with a nonprofit in need of board members.

This interactive seminar engages participants on the following topics:

  • Nonprofit sector in context
  • Facts about Orange County boards
  • Characteristics of boards at different organizational lifecycle stages
  • Board responsibilities – legal and contextual

Review the efforts and contexts of nonprofits with Julie Holdaway, Director Training and Leadership.

Current Board Members:

Current board members are invited to attend the training as a refresher session on what’s new in board management. Come share your experiences and insights with us and to take back to your board.  Understand the roles and responsibilities of boards, and reframe the board’s efforts – from rubber stamping to action-oriented.
