The Center for Nonprofit Advancement Board Leadership Award recognizes and spotlights outstanding leadership from boards of directors of Washington-area nonprofit organizations. The award winners are selected through a competitive process by a selection committee that comprises individuals with a wide range of expertise in board governance and nonprofit management. The program began in 2011 and is open to all Center members and any 501(c) nonprofit in the Washington metropolitan area. The board of directors of two organizations will be selected annually as Board Leadership Award winners - for an organization with an annual budget of less than $2 million and for an organization with an annual budget of more than $2 million.
The 2011 winner in the less than $2 million annual budget category is Greenbrier Learning Center, Arlington, Va. GLC promotes education, youth leadership and strong families through structured enrichment programs beyond the school day. The winner in the more than $2 million category is N Street Village, Washington. This group offers services and advocacy to homeless and low-income women.
