Wanted to get some input -

I work for a small nonprofit business association and we are in the process of looking for a new ED. There are only a few of us on staff and we have been keeping the ship afloat ( quite well, I may add :) ) I have been here for 9 years....and there is a job that has been posted in my desired field (event management) with a Fortune 500 company. Our Board Chair, who I have a great relationship with, works at the company. Is it ok to ask for their help in getting my information in front of the right people?

Yes - that's networking and it's the best way in at a company.

Absolutely! You may also find it helpful to read the book "Never Split the Difference" for help on negotiating/advocating for yourself as the right fit for this role!
