• Breakfast Table Talk: Trends, Challenges and Effective Practices in Nonprofit Board Service
  • WHO: Join PwC Senior Director of Purpose & Inclusion, Heather Lofkin Wright and Cause Strategy Partners Chief Growth Officer, Erin Pierson to discuss trends in nonprofit board recruitment, whether you're a nonprofit leader looking for new board members, a corporate leader interested in connecting your employees to board opportunities, or an individual looking to take your volunteer service to the next level.
