Board Member Connect Exemplifies the Power of Social Media to Do Good

David Lewis sent me a message through LinkedIn asking if I would consider filling out a profile for his new project Board Member Connect.

I checked out the site and then immediately filled out a brief profile because I thought this idea such a good one.

The basic premise is that people who would like to help out a nonprofit organization by serving on the org's board can fill out a profile at Lewis' site. The profile includes your skills as well as the type of nonprofits for which you would be most interested in serving on a board.

Then the nonprofits who sign up at the site get access to the prospective board member profiles.

At the moment there are only board prospects in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and Michigan. But the project has plans to expand to other locations.

Check out this new project now at http://boardmemberconnect.com/ and you can follow David Lewis on Twitter at @BoardConnect
