Summary

For almost four decades, BoardSource has helped shape nonprofit governance. Today, we are advancing a broader vision: a nonprofit sector where boards lead with purpose, steward power responsibly, and remain accountable to the communities they serve. Through research, thought leadership, membership, and practical governance solutions, BoardSource works alongside nonprofit leaders to transform governance practices, strengthen organizations, and help our sector fulfill its role within civil society, in line with our Theory of Practice.

Purpose-Driven Board Leadership (PDBL) is BoardSource’s primary framework for good governance. Boards that combine a purpose-driven lens with strong governance infrastructure and practices are better positioned to sustain the organization over time, improve outcomes for those most impacted by the organization’s work, and help the sector as a whole fulfil its role in civil society. BoardSource advances the principles of PDBL across its core programs and field-facing work, including membership, assessments, learning journeys, thought leadership, consultant engagement, and strategic partnerships.

BoardSource now seeks nominations and applications for its Director of Content & Governance Education. This role will hold significant responsibility for operationalizing the co-creation and expertise elements of BoardSource’s Theory of Practice under the leadership and direction of the Chief Program & Strategy Officer and in close partnership with the Director of Learning & Research. This role will create new governance content, develop curricula for trainings and learning journeys, present BoardSource content in live and virtual formats, and refine and amplify existing resources to help drive BoardSource’s work to evolve governance. The Director will bring deep nonprofit governance expertise, strong writing and facilitation skills, and a demonstrated commitment to community-centered approaches that listen to, learn from, and co-create with nonprofit leaders. The salary range for this position is between $128,000 - $160,000.
