Emerge Broward is pleased to announce 23 members have been selected to serve on the Board of Directors for various non-profits in Broward County as part of the 2025 Board Engagement program. Participants in this signature program receive training regarding the role of a board member, the basics of nonprofit governance, and best practices in board service. At the conclusion of the program, participants are matched with a nonprofit board for a one-year term of service.
“These young leaders are stepping up to serve with purpose, represent the next generation of decision-makers, and help shape a stronger South Florida,” said Andrew Caksackkar, Project Manager for Florida Power and Light and Emerge Broward’s Board President. “This year’s program produced top talent across various industries who will bring their time and insight to these prestigious organizations.”
The Board Engagement Program is offered in partnership with the Community Foundation of Broward, whose expert consultants provide the foundational training sessions.
“Dynamic leadership is critical to the Community Foundation of Broward’s work to champion philanthropy that builds community and opportunity here in Broward,” said Community Foundation President/CEO Jennifer O’Flannery Anderson, Ph.D. “We are thrilled to support Emerge Broward’s Board Engagement Program, which helps develop the next generation of talented board leaders who reflect our community’s rich diversity.”
