THE ILSS BOARD LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

Transform from Industry Leader to Social Shaper: Easily, Credibly, Strategically.
3-days residential program curated by ILSS, empowering corporate and ex-public service leaders to serve on nonprofit boards. No guesswork, just guidance.

Strengthening Nonprofit Boards. One Leader at a Time.

India’s social sector needs more than good intentions—it needs strong, strategic boards. The ILSS Board Leadership Program is a curated 3-days journey for senior professionals from the corporate or entrepreneurial sectors who are ready to bring their skills to the service of high-impact nonprofits.

Through expert-led sessions, real-world case studies, and deep sector immersion, the program equips participants with the knowledge, confidence, and network to serve meaningfully on nonprofit boards. Whether you’re looking to contribute to education, health, climate, or livelihoods, this is your pathway to purposeful board leadership.

Why This Matters

Governance is the new sector bottleneck: Founders need mid-board leadership; boards need corporate expertise.

Your board seat doesn’t just advise – it advances strategy, impact, and sustainability.

Be the bridge: Your networks, systems thinking, and governance expertise can support organisational growth for nonprofits and open new horizons for them.

Designed for You

Who should apply:
C-suite professionals (20+ years), retired leaders exploring meaningful board careers.

Why now?
Urgent need for strategic board partners; time is ripe to bring business rigor into
social purpose.
