A message from our CEO:
?? A Lesson in Tech Governance That Changed How I See Nonprofit Leadership When I joined God's Love We Deliver as Chief Operating Officer, I wasn’t a technologist—I was an executive trying to ensure that a life-saving organization could serve its community as effectively as possible. But on my desk sat 150 unanswered tech-related requests, and I quickly realized that our technology–the tools and systems we needed to deliver on our mission–wasn’t doing the job. Thankfully, a timely connection to a senior leader from Morgan Stanley brought board-level expertise to our tech discussions. She didn’t just offer advice—she became a true partner. She helped me prioritize the most urgent challenges, make the case for funding, and bring in pro bono support. Thanks to her, we didn’t just solve technical problems—we improved how we served our community. That experience stuck with me. Nonprofit leaders shouldn’t have to navigate these challenges alone. But too often, they don’t have access to the right expertise at the board level. That’s why, together with Aaron Hurst and with the support of Okta, I co-founded Board.Dev. We saw firsthand how tech governance could transform a nonprofit’s ability to serve its mission—but also how rare it was to see nonprofits with the tech expertise they needed at the board level. Now, through Board.Dev, we’re making that expertise accessible: ? Board Placement: We match tech professionals with nonprofit boards, enhancing tech governance and empowering organizations to achieve their missions. ? Board Training: We offer training to help nonprofits implement tech governance, engage tech leaders effectively, and transform technology use across their organizations. ? Event-Based Engagement: Through events like Tech Resource Boosts, we connect tech leaders with nonprofits for impactful consulting on tech governance, resulting in clear governance plans and actionable next steps. ? Advisory Services: We design programs that meet social impact and talent needs, from engaging employees to driving nonprofit digital transformation, helping tech leaders engage deeply and nonprofits build tech governance into their board models. Technology shouldn’t be a burden—it should be a tool for transformation. And with the right tech governance, nonprofits can make smarter decisions, serve their communities more effectively, and future-proof their missions.
