From within this group, the organization can choose who to formally recommend onto the BoardProspects platform.

Premium vs. Plus.
Designed for the busy executive who is actively pursuing a for-profit board role, there are a few key elements that set our expanded Plus offering apart:
Coaching
Work one-on-one with our team to hone in on your unique Personal Value Proposition, draft a powerful Board Bio perfectly tailored to your next for-profit board role, and get individualized support as your board journey progresses.
Connections
Expand your professional network, workshop your key materials, and connect with fellow BoardProspects members through our facilitated face-to-face networking sessions.
Convenience
Plus membership is designed to seamlessly support busy candidates; from concierge done-for-you profile setup to on-demand event replays to a dedicated phone support line, and more.
Accelerator Program.
This virtual five-week program is designed to fast-track aspiring candidates' board readiness and provide tools for executives to secure their desired board role.
Max. 20-25 candidates per cohort; partners may sponsor seats in an existing cohort or a full private cohort with custom content targeted to their executives.
A Network Built on Recommendations.
Searchers trust the quality of BoardProspects' candidates and are more open to candidates without previous for-profit board experience based on our recommendations system.
Candidates who do not have previous for-profit board experience – regardless of membership level – must receive a recommendation from an experienced for-profit director or one of our endorsing partner organizations before their profile will be shown in search results.
BoardProspects is not a pay-to-play community; all Membership levels are subject to the recommendation requirement. Through Recommending and Sponsoring Partnerships, your organization may satisfy this requirement for your executives.
