San Diego OnBoard Arts Board Development Program trains, recruits, and matches business professionals as board members to arts groups, with specific goals in mind:

• To recruit and train qualified board members for arts organizations of all sizes
• To upgrade the quality of arts board members so they know their responsibilities and are familiar with key nonprofit arts organization issues
• To provide and make available to arts organizations an ongoing pool of diverse, qualified board members able to make their board function with maximum, sustained effectiveness
• To assist business, civic, and community volunteers to increase their own management and leadership skills and thus become more effective contributors to society as a whole

Program components include:

• An annual workshop series for arts staff and new and existing board members on topics relating to effective board governance
• Annual roundtable discussions for executive directors and board presidents to discuss topical issues facing their boards
• The recruitment, training, and matching of volunteers with arts boards
