Social Impact Week: Board Service Workshop

Join Net Impact, Nonprofit Board Fellows, and General Management club for a Board Service Workshop with Jackie Downing. We will discuss how to engage in the social sector through board service and reflect on how this work relates to a larger organizational ecosystem.
