A Board Member Invitation Letter is sent to individuals who can provide some type of benefit or resource to an organization. Board members often have an advisory role in a company. For example, they provide counsel, offer advice, and share their experience or expertise to support the functioning of an organization. Key markers of a prospective board member are experience, potential monetary contributions, a powerful name or pull in the industry, access to resources, and their availability to support the organization. Do your research! It is not recommended to send a Board Member Invitation Letter to someone who belongs on a competitor's board. This can be a major conflict of interest!
To formally invite an individual to the board, a Board Member Invitation Letter needs to be crafted. The letter should be a personalized invitation detailing why you want them on your board. Be sure to cover the expectations of board members, information about your organization, any compensation given, and a compelling reason why they should consider becoming a board member.
