Board Nomination

The best board governance for non-profits begins with managing risk during the nomination process. In order to prove a candidate is a good fit for a non-profit’s board and before an invitation is extended, be clear what the expectations are. We urge clients to complete thorough vetting and background checks on their prospective nominees.

Our team, which includes lawyers, checks for the following:

  • Proof of financial ability to meet a non-profit’s give/get policies;
  • Any indication of risk by searching for arrests, convictions, judgements, lawsuits, liens and negative social media;
  • What business, philanthropic and social networks can the prospective nominee access?

    • We search over 1 trillion public records, including foreign languages when necessary.
