Manhattan is a community unlike any other — with so many incredible nonprofits, organizations, and causes to support, there are endless ways to get involved and make a difference. But how do you know which opportunity is the right fit for you?
Join the Young Trustees for a fun and informative Lunch & Learn featuring insight from some of our community’s top leaders as we cover the basics of board membership and community involvement. We’ll discuss what it really means to serve on a board, the do’s and don’ts of board etiquette, an introduction to Robert’s Rules of Order, and important things to consider before saying “yes” to joining a board.
Whether you are looking to get more connected, grow as a leader, or simply learn more about how our community works together, this session is a great place to start. Come enjoy time with fellow community members and discover the many ways you can make an impact in Manhattan! We are looking forward to seeing you there!
