Students gain Unique Exposure to Board Governance - News

Students gain Unique Exposure to Board Governance - News: "With $26 billion annually donated to charitable organizations and 8.3 percent of wages and salaries paid in the United States coming from the nonprofit sector, there is a significant portion of the US economy and population focused on making a difference. Collectively, we are faced with the task of learning how to use these resources efficiently to have the greatest impact on our community.

This year, twenty-six RC and EC students have been selected as Harvard Business School Board Fellows to learn how to systematically tackle this challenge. These students, serving as non-voting Board Members across seventeen nonprofit organizations, are applying their skills to help local nonprofit organizations achieve a broader impact on their local, national and global constituencies. At the same time, students get a first hand experience of nonprofit board governance."
