Ready to Lead? Here Are 5 Benefits of Becoming a Hoffman-Haas Fellow
If you're ready to grow as a leader and strengthen your community, the Hoffman-Haas Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to build the skills, confidence, and connections essential for nonprofit board leadership.
Here are five powerful benefits of becoming a Hoffman-Haas Fellow:
1. Make an Impact in Your Community
Board service is one of the most direct, meaningful ways to shape civic life. As a Fellow, you’ll be prepared to contribute to missions that matter—children, seniors, the arts, the environment, health, equity, and more.
2. Build a Strong Foundation in Nonprofit Governance
Gain a clear, practical understanding of what it takes to serve on a nonprofit board—ethical, legal, financial, and strategic responsibilities delivered in an accessible, engaging format. You’ll leave with the confidence to contribute meaningfully from day one.
3. Learn from Respected Experts and Experienced Leaders
Our presenters and mentors bring decades of real-world board experience. Fellows receive insight, guidance, and candid conversations about what effective leadership looks like in practice—not just theory.
4. Expand Your Professional and Civic Network
Join a cohort of emerging and seasoned leaders from across the state. Fellows develop lasting relationships with peers, mentors, and nonprofit leaders throughout New Hampshire.
5. Strengthen Your Professional Acumen
The Fellowship helps you grow as a strategic thinker, communicator, and decision-maker. Board leadership experience adds depth to your resume and strengthens the skills employers value most.
Applications are open November 12, 2025 – January 12, 2026.
If you or someone in your network is ready to lead with purpose, we hope you’ll share this opportunity.
