Thank you to everyone who made Get on Board 2025 a tremendous success! We are incredibly grateful to those who attended, as well as to our inspiring speakers and generous sponsors for helping bring this impactful day to life.
This year, we welcomed more than double the number of participants from last year, a powerful sign that our region is filled with engaged, motivated individuals who are ready to serve their communities.
Since its launch in 2008, Get on Board has equipped more than 700 individuals with the skills and confidence to lead in nonprofit settings. We’re proud to continue that legacy with this year’s outstanding cohort.
Together, we’re building stronger boards, stronger leaders, and a stronger New Orleans.
About the workshop
Get on Board is a one-day event consisting of engaging presentations from nonprofit experts and interactive role-playing. Participants learn about board member role and how their responsibilities relate to others within the organization.
