What is the Board Bank?

The Board Bank is a program that connects community members who wish to serve on local boards, committees or commissions with nonprofit & governmental agencies seeking board, committee or commission members.  The Board Bank is a partnership of the Association of Community Services of Howard County, Leadership Howard County and the Volunteer Center Serving Howard County.

Community Members Interested in Serving on a Board

Register your interest in serving on a local board, committee or commission by creating an account using 1-800-Volunteer.org.  In the My Skills section, please be sure to check next to Board/Committee Member under Administrative/Organizational Support.  If you already have an account with 1-800-Volunteer.org, simply log-in and update your skills to include Board/Committee Member.

You’ll receive request notifications based on your skills and interests, and will need to follow-up with agencies directly or through the online system.  Please be advised that this is a referral process, and further steps may be required prior to being accepted for any position.

Nonprofit & Governmental Agencies Seeking Board Members

Potential board members will either contact you directly or via the 1-800-Volunteer.org system.
