United Way’s Young Leaders Society is hosting its 2nd Nonprofit Board Resource Event – Make Your Mark!. Young Leaders Society is partnering with Emerging Leaders Ocala to invite Young Professionals throughout Marion County to get more involved in community advocacy by learning about agencies, getting on boards and sitting on committees. On Thursday, November 5, 11:00am-1:00pm at United Way we will host our second board resource event called “Make Your Mark”.
There will be a panel discussion with community leaders on the importance of being involved in the community and how to be an effective board member. This will be followed by a speed networking session with agencies and community boards. We hope to place, you the Young Leader, on local boards and committees that fit your passions to not only further your development, but to move forward the needle on the issues addressed by these organizations. Not mention it’s great for the resume! If you are not ready to the leap into board leadership, this can be used as a great opportunity to learn more and see if it’s something you might want for the future. Hope you will come and enjoy a free lunch and a fun discussion!
Please RSVP to Summer Gill by October 30 at sgill@uwmc.org. Feel free to call 732-9696 with any questions.
