Each board member comes with their own strengths. The interviewer wants to know how your strengths will be beneficial to the current board. It's a good idea to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of a board or organization before your interview. This tells you their pain points or areas of struggle that they need to improve. In your response, express how your skills and attributes will impact those areas.

"After reading about your organization's history, I understand that one of your pain points has been fundraising. With my previous experience working for a non-profit, I have a knack for finding unique funding opportunities and a strong community network. I feel strongly about being able to expand your reach when looking for fundraising opportunities and will continuously monitor our performance."
