Response: According to BoardSource there is no federal or state law that prohibits foreign citizens from sitting on the board of a nonprofit organization. The organization should be certain that the bylaws of the organization do not prohibit foreign citizens as board members and should be certain that the individual is a legal resident of the United States.
