Nonprofit platinum board opening

BoardAssist founder Cynthia Remec is recruiting for a nonprofit board seat tied to retail and donation-center operations that support employment for people with disabilities. (boardassist.org) The opening was described by Remec in a social post and carries a $10,000 annual give-or-get commitment for directors, according to the listing details referenced in that post. BoardAssist says it matches candidates with nonprofit boards and makes introductions after candidates express interest. (x.com) (boardassist.org) BoardAssist presents itself as a New York-based nonprofit board recruiting service that has operated since 2001. The group says its placements have generated more than $260 million for nonprofits over the last 25 years. (boardassist.org 1) (boardassist.org 2) The post lands in a market where nonprofit board seats often come with financial expectations, but BoardAssist’s own published data says most candidates commit to less than $5,000 a year. Its survey work says asks of $10,000 or more were typically concentrated among well-established nonprofit names. (boardassist.org) Board service is usually unpaid, with compensation coming in influence, oversight responsibility, and fundraising obligations rather than salary. BoardSource, a nonprofit governance group, describes board recruitment as a process centered on mission fit, skills, and the organization’s needs. (boardsource.org) Remec has long framed those tradeoffs in practical terms. In past BoardAssist events and materials, she has highlighted cultural fit, organization size, and financial commitment as core questions for prospective directors. (fortefoundation.org) (boardassist.org) The mission area in this case sits at the intersection of thrift-style retail and disability employment, a model used by groups such as Goodwill, which says stores and donation centers help fund job training and career services. Goodwill also says its retail, donation-center, and career-center operations are part of the same employment pipeline. (goodwill.org 1) (goodwill.org 2) BoardAssist says it vets candidates for the time and money a board requires before sending resumes to nonprofit clients. For experienced executives looking for a board role with a defined fundraising threshold and a workforce-focused mission, this listing is being marketed as a direct route into that process.
