Sounding Board: Governance


MassNonprofitNet is governed by a founding Board of Directors, which meets monthly to further develop the structure and services of our association.Ý Eight of these board members represent the eight subsectors; eight of them are regional representatives. In addition, six diverse, at-large board members represent alliances, networks, stakeholders, academia, philanthropy, the public sector, and organizations of all sizes.Ý

The organization operates under the fiscal sponsorship of Third Sector New England.

Elections: Regional Representatives to the Board of Directors

 All MNN voting members (non-affiliates) are encouraged to vote for their regional representatives to the board of directors.

Elections close May 16.

If you have not received a ballot via email, please contact smercandetti@massnonprofitnet.org.

There are eight seats (out of a total of 21 to 26) for regional representatives on the board, one for each of these regions: Berkshires, Cape Cod/Islands, Central, Greater Boston, Metrowest, Northeast, Pioneer Valley, and Southeast.

For your guidance, we've attached a list of voting members, a board member job description and a list of the cities and towns in each region. To be included on the ballot, candidates had to be nominated by at least two Voting Members from their region.
