Board Fellows Support

Support for Fellows and Organizations

Each non-profit organization and Board Fellow will be assigned to a NIB Program Manager who will serve as the primary contact across the year, and can assist with any questions or problems that arise during the placement.  In addition, Net Impact Boston will provide Fellows with tools to communicate with one another to share questions and practice, and typically sponsors an initial training/orientation session for all Fellows and Organizations at the outset of the placement.
