If you think serving on a non-profit board or committee is something just for C-Suite executives, THINK AGAIN! As public relations professionals, not only do we have a lot to give back to the community, but by stepping forward we have a lot to gain…both personally and professionally.

Yet, this service is something we almost never hear up-and-coming PR pros discuss. Perhaps there is a perception that this is something you do later in your career when you’re older, wiser, more experienced, etc. This couldn’t be farther from the truth! Nonprofits are looking for fresh ideas and professionals willing to get their hands dirty, and PR professionals bring a highly coveted skill set to the table. Why not jump in?

During this panel discussion, we’ll give you THREE GREAT REASONS (and likely a few more) why you should explore nonprofit leadership. We’ll also discuss:

  • How to find your nonprofit match;

 

  • What nonprofits are looking for from PR pros;

 

  • How to use your nonprofit experience to expand your resume; and

 

  • How to leverage your nonprofit connections.

 

Joining our panel:

Jeanne Agneessens, Leadership Green Bay

Joy Kapheim, Leadership Fox Cities

Dawn Gohlke, Executive Director, Best Friends of Neenah/Menasha

Susan Finco, Leonard & Finco Public Relations (and active community volunteer)

Nonprofit board experience can be transformative and a powerful catalyst to your career – and did we mention that it’s good for the community and your soul? Join us Tuesday, September 25 for this opportunity that may open doors to the best leadership training you’ve ever had!
