The Council of Urban Professionals (CUP) is seeking dynamic emerging leaders from the business, consulting, digital and technology, finance, legal, media and entertainment, non-profit, and public sectors for its Leadership Board.
CUP’s Leadership Board is a body of appointed high performing professionals who are committed to CUP’s mission and have expressed a desire to cultivate their capacity to serve as effective board members. Over a two year period, members leverage their experiences to build strategic networks, develop their leadership skills, and enhance the CUP membership experience.
Leadership Board participation provides unique opportunities:

- Members will enhance their personal and professional networks through access to CUP’s network of influential leaders from across industries and sectors.
- Members will receive individual, strategic assistance in getting matched to a non-profit board via CUP’s “A Seat at the Table” board matching initiative and have access to CUP’s board training programs.
Leadership Board members will be asked to:
- Serve on at least one Leadership Board task force
- Give or raise a targeted annual fundraising goal
- Attend four Leadership Board meetings per year
- Recruit and galvanize prospective CUP members to support CUP’s mission and work
