For your convenience, the open positions are as follows:

Events Team Member(s)

Finally, please join me in wishing Monica Nakielski our best as she exits the Net Impact Boston Team.  Monica has contributed much of her time and talent to the recent successes of the Chapter and we would be not have made such enormous strides without her.  Enjoy the next phase, Monica.

Hope to hear from many of you.

Until Then,
Monica
