New Boardmatch initiative makes for smarter employees

CRUCIAL business expertise and acumen is to be made available free of charge to the voluntary sector through the Boardmatch initiative launched yesterday by the Secretary General at the Department of An Taoiseach, Dermot McCarthy.

The novel development which is up and running in the US and Canada expands the experience of up and coming professionals by utilising a web-based skills matching service between business and non-profits to provide them with key board members.

Chairman of the new initiative and director of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) Roger Acton said: “Research shows that Boardmatch makes for smarter employees, better networking and helps identify business leaders of tomorrow.
