Young Leaders Council is excited to partner with BoardSource for a Spring Impact Series discussion on Purpose-Driven Board Leadership, facilitated by Andy Davis, Associate VP of Member Education & Outreach.

YLC’s Impact Series offer continuing education opportunities for alumni and community partners to enhance learning around nonprofit board leadership.

Purpose-Driven Board Leadership is a concept introduced in a 2021 Stanford Social Innovation Review article by Anne Wallestad, President and CEO of BoardSource. Purpose-Driven Board Leadership offers a new way of framing the nonprofit board’s role informed by BoardSource’s years of research and work with nonprofit boards and executives as well as a wide range of leaders and thinkers in the field of social sector leadership. The concept focuses on four key principles that BoardSource believes should drive nonprofit board leadership and thinking, including: purpose before organization; respect for ecosystem, equity mindset, and authorized voice and power.
