Jordan A. Daniels Nonprofit Board Fellowship

Connecting students and community organizations for leadership development and hands-on impact.

The Nonprofit Board Fellowship (NBF) introduces MBA students to the intrinsic value of board service, through a foundational curriculum that blends the concepts of board governance, servant leadership, and diversity and inclusion with an academic year of service as non-voting board members with local nonprofit organizations.

The fellows attend monthly board meetings and committee meetings, and are involved in projects that make a direct impact on their organizations.

NBF is a collaboration between the UB School of Management’s Center for Leadership and Organizational Effectiveness and the school’s Career Resource Center.

Director: Carrie Gardner
