Net Impact Boston Launches Board Fellows Program
Net Impact Boston is pleased to announce the launch of its Board Fellows Program:
The Board Fellows Program places Net Impact members on non-profit boards (as non-voting members) for one-year fellowships. Board Fellows will be active participants on their non-profit boards, getting involved with committees and relevant projects. The program brings valuable business skills to non-profits and allows non-profits to cultivate potential new board members, while exposing Net Impact members to non-profit management and governance in practice.
Visit the Board Fellows Program page to find out more about this exciting new initiative and how you can apply to be a Board Fellow or request a Board Fellow for your non-profit!
