Learn More About Board Leadership with BoardLead!

Join Disability Lead and Cause Strategy Partners on April 30 from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. CT for an Informational Session on BoardLead!

For the 7th consecutive year, Disability Lead is partnering with Cause Strategy Partners’ BoardLead program to connect Disability Lead Members to non-profit board positions, empowering them to lead with power and influence.

More than 1 in 10 Chicagoans live with a disability, yet people with disabilities remain underrepresented on non-profit boards, public commissions, task forces, and corporate management teams. Only 1% of the region’s non-profit board seats are filled by people with disabilities – we want to change that!

About the Session:

This informational session will guide Disability Lead Members through the process of applying for a non-profit board position. Participants will also receive exclusive access to training and ongoing support to help them succeed in their role as board members.

BoardLead Commitment :

‍As a BoardLead participant, you will be expected to:

• Serve on at least one board committee

• Maintain a near-perfect attendance record at board meetings

• Make a personally meaningful and sacrificial annual gift

• Actively participate in fundraising efforts

• Engage robustly in board meetings

• Leverage your skills and network to drive impact

• Use your influence to promote diversity and inclusion
