Project Board Development Overview

Project Board Development is a leadership development program developed by the United Way of Greater High Point. It is designed to identify, recruit, and train multicultural candidates for referral to serve on committees and governing boards of local health and human service organizations, including those affiliated with the United Way of Greater High Point. Geographic diversity is also a goal of the program, so that local Boards are represented by qualified leaders from across our community.

Participants attend seven training sessions with a structured curriculum that includes instruction in strategic planning, marketing, finance, parliamentary procedure, and fund-raising. Over 100 people have already graduated from this program over the past three years, and many have found placement on local non-profit boards.

Classes take place on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 - 8:00 pm, with dinner provided, for an eight week period.

Funding for Project Board Development has been provided by the City of High Point, Community Foundation of High Point, the Hayden-Harmon Foundation, Thomas Built Buses and American Express. James LeGrande is the volunteer chair of United Way of Greater High Point's African American Initiative.
