Find Board Ready Candidates
A database of board-ready candidates
OnBoard’s first priority is connecting our network of qualified candidates with board opportunities. OnBoard’s online database of vetted, ultra-prepared individuals will go live in 2026.
In the meantime, we invite companies seeking board candidates to contact Lisa Robinson at lisarobinson@onboardinc.org to learn about our complimentary candidate referral service. OnBoard can help you refine your criteria, thoughtfully select candidates based on your needs, and fill open board seats by leveraging our national candidate base.
If you are a prospective candidate looking for information on our board readiness programs, please visit our web pages for Accelerator (C-Suite level), Ignite (VP and Director level), or Membership (various levels).
