Communications from NIB’s president
Mar 2012: President’s Corner
I had the first-world pleasure of enjoying a delicious brunch with my husband and parents this past weekend. While diving into this year’s elections, we discussed a basic difference in worldview and ideals that appear to be at the root of the country’s divide. One group idealizes what has been, hoping to protect (the idea of) our country as it has been for decades — my nice yard, my nest egg, my access to my doctor should I be sick. The other camp wants these things as well, but is realistic about factors informing how we proceed — globalization challenges, energy and natural resource demands, issues of hunger, poverty and over-population.
This is why I joined Net Impact Boston. Because I want to be part of a community sitting in the second camp. Not only sitting in the second camp, but making some serious noise. Net Impact Boston Members are engaged in using their minds and muscle on tough social and environmental challenges in all types of business sectors and industries. I continue to be thrilled to be a part of it.
I hope to meet you at a Net Impact event very soon.

This year, we will continue to engage you with provocative, interesting and fun social events and programs to help you bolster your skills in your current role or explore a new one. I invite you to check out what we have on the books for January and February and to join us soon.
We are constantly looking for ideas and inspiration from our members, so please drop me a note if you have an idea for an event, speaker, panel discussion or topic you’d like to see us run with. We’ll even get you involved!
See You Soon,
Monica

Dec 2011: President’s Corner
It is only by historical coincidence that we have left behind a day dedicated to being thankful and find ourselves in the season of giving. I hope that you find the opportunity to be both grateful and generous this month. Please see our announcements and events sections for ideas!
Also, please join me in thanking and congratulating Kimberly Coletti. Kim has been our Membership Chair for the last year and a half. She’s been an amazing asset and showed great dedication to NIB, especially while on an extended assignment in England. Kim will be joining the Connecticut non-profit Save the Children as their Director, Fundraising Best Practices and Innovation. Save the Children is the leading independent organization creating lasting change in the lives of children in need in the United States and around the world. If you are interested in speaking to us about filling Kim’s (big) shoes, please see the Announcements Section for more information.
Wishing You the Best,
Monica and the NIB Team
