Board Connect, a nonprofit board-matching fair hosted by Connect for Good, is returning to Grand Junction for a second year. Held for the first time on the Western Slope in 2025, Board Connect brings together local nonprofits and community members for meaningful, one-on-one conversations about nonprofit board and committee service.

The board fair will take place March 10, 4-6:30 p.m., at the Clifton Community Center, 3270 D 1/2 Road in Clifton. Attendance is free to community members looking to learn more about board service and other volunteer leadership opportunities at several nonprofit organizations in the Grand Valley.

Community members interested in attending the free fair are encouraged to learn more online at www.connectforgood.biz/board-connect. Attendee advance registration is encouraged, but not required.

“Nonprofits are critical to a thriving, connected community, but they can’t do it alone,” Connect for Good founder Porcia Chen Silverberg said. “They need new energy, fresh perspectives and community-minded individuals at their board table. This board fair will help local organizations increase visibility for their mission and help them recruit potential new board members and volunteers.

“On the flip side, community members new to the idea of serving on a board, and those who already have experience and are looking for a new opportunity, can come to the event, which will help them explore, connect and discover what’s possible in their own back yard.”

Nonprofits interested in having an exhibitor table can sign up online at www.connectforgood.biz/board-connect. Exhibitor fees are: $50 for members of the local nonprofit coalition Community Impact Council, the event’s title sponsor; and $100 for non-CIC members.

Thanks to Alpine Bank, one nonprofit exhibitor will receive a $1,000 donation through a drawing at the event.
