Business On Board

 

Business On Board provides training to business professionals and arts managers on nonprofit board governance issues and places business professionals on boards and committees of arts and cultural organizations.

Since 1996, training and community relations departments from throughout the Greater Philadelphia Region have relied on Business On Board to enhance their foremost employees' talents and opportunities, encourage cross-industry networking and position their companies in the cultural landscape.

As with many “Philadelphia firsts," our 6-month board training program has been replicated in Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati and Phoenix.
