"Imagine it's 5 pm on a Thursday and you need to leave work to go to a board meeting. Where would you be excited and energized to go?"
This was one of the conversation sparking questions posed during last week's
"Finding Your Fit". The 90 minute session was presented by Kate Flynn, Director at The Lee Institute. Kate's engaging
program provided members with checklists, tools and a roadmap to joining a nonprofit board.
"Finding Your Fit" is the first of three Nonprofit Board Leadership Program events developed in conjunction with the Lee Institute. The program will continue with two more opportunities to learn about joining a nonprofit board. This series is generously sponsored by J.P. Morgan. Learn more about the
Lee Institute.
A 3 hour interactive session led by Cyndee Patterson, President of the Lee Institute.
The session will conclude with a panel featuring Laura Clark, United Way of the Central Carolinas, Alison Houser, Augustine Literacy Project, and Valecia McDowell, Moore & Van Allen
A networking event featuring several area nonprofits looking to build board capacity. All members are welcome
