How do you build a board that doesn’t just show up—but truly drives your mission forward?

We’re excited to announce that DonorSearch will feature PMA’s own Patton McDowell, nonprofit leadership expert and author of Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership, on the next live episode of Frontlines of Social Good, part of the Philanthropy Masterminds Series.

Join us Tuesday, April 8th at 1 PM ET for a powerful conversation on Purpose-Driven Board Leadership, where Patton will share key lessons from his book and real-world strategies for building a mission-aligned board. He’ll be joined by nonprofit attorney Gene Takagi, who will unpack the legal and structural elements that make a board effective.
