“[From the moment I first spoke to
BoardAssist] I felt as if I had been sent a ‘guardian angel’ whose
rolodex and compassion for the needs of organizations like A.R.T./New
York could introduce us to individuals from sectors currently
lacking (and sorely needed) on our board: investment banking;
international finance; and corporate/government relations. You are
amazing; and we are blessed that you came into our lives.”
Executive Director of Alliance of Resident Theatres
“The thoughtfulness of your
process—from exploring with me what our particular organization
really needed, to your careful selection of potential candidates
for me to interview—not only found us a wonderful new board
member, but also forced me to think about what type of people
Family Justice needed. The fact that you ‘weeded out’ candidates
and did not waste my time with meeting people who would not be a
fit was invaluable." Executive Director of Family Justice
“Our BoardAssist candidate has been
an amazing addition to our Board of Directors. She brings
enthusiasm and dedication to our agency and believes in our
mission. BoardAssist is a very needed service and the screening
and assurance you provide are extremely helpful to a busy
executive and Board. In these tough and competitive times, it is
wonderful to know that we have a resource to turn to in our
efforts to recruit board members with the ‘time, talent and
treasure’ we need.” Executive Director of Good Shepherd
Services
“BoardAssist has been a terrific
resource for Hunter. They were wonderful to work with, and quickly
identified candidates of high caliber that would be a good fit for
the Hunter College Foundation board. The selection of appropriate
board members can be sensitive and difficult, and BoardAssist
helped us move through the process swiftly and successfully. As a
public institution with limited resources, we are deeply grateful
for their invaluable assistance at no cost.” President of
Hunter College
“Working with you was such a
pleasurable and efficient process. Each resume you sent us was a
good fit for LINC. I appreciated the way in which you kept in
touch with us during the interview and decision making process.
Your insight into each candidate was an important element in our
decisions. Effective board members are so essential to nonprofits
and your help makes such a difference.” Executive Director of
Literacy, Inc.
“In every case, you hit the ball
out of the park, identifying individuals who are just the right
fit for us. Another aspect of working with you that has so
impressed me is that you have made this whole process easy. I know
from 15 years of experience that Board recruitment can be and
often is a time consuming, messy process, with lots of wild goose
chases and dead-end streets. But you somehow managed to do it with
a minimum of fuss and bother, putting us in contact only with
individuals who you knew you suit us.” Executive Director of
New York City Outward Bound
“BoardAssist has introduced the
Patrons Program to over 15 professionals who have ultimately
joined inner city elementary school Advisory Boards. Their
screening process is thorough and allows us to meet individuals
who are perfect matches for our organization. BoardAssist is
efficient and only introduces candidates who are serious about
making real differences in the lives of inner city children.”
Executive Director of Patrons Program
“Bringing a BoardAssist candidate
onto our board was particularly efficient thanks to your careful
and intelligent understanding of Wildcat’s board requirements, as
well as your hands on approach during the entire process. We are
extremely grateful to you. You are providing a unique, valuable
service to New York’s non-profit sector. I look forward to working
with you on this for many years to come.” Board Chair of
Wildcat
