BoardStar becomes own entity, launches statewide initiative

Milwaukee Small Business Times

July 16, 2010

BoardStar, formerly a program offered by the Milwaukee-based Nonprofit Management Fund, has announced that it will break off and become its own 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Patricia Wyzbinski will serve as the organization's director during the transition.

"The Nonprofit Management Fund seeks to identify and develop programs that will fill gaps in service to the nonprofit community," Wyzbinski said. "BoardStar filled a gap and increased management resources for nonprofits, and will continue to do that now, as its own separate entity."

According to Wyzbinski, the Nonprofit Management Fund has a history of developing programs to serve the nonprofit community and then transitioning them to function as separate entities.
