Think you’re not “board material”? Think again.
You don’t need decades of experience, a corner office, or a big checkbook to make a difference. Serving on a board—or even just joining a committee—is a great way to give back to your community, grow your leadership skills, and build real connections with local business leaders.
This session is designed to take the mystery out of what board service actually involves. We’ll walk you through what it means to serve, how much time it really takes, and the personal and professional benefits you might not expect.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
What board members actually do
The basic legal responsibilities of a board
How serving builds leadership and visibility
What to expect if you’re interested in the Peabody Chamber board
Who should attend?
Anyone curious about how to get involved—whether with the Peabody Area Chamber or any nonprofit board. No pressure, no pitch—just good info, real talk, and a chance to meet current board members in a relaxed setting.
