Join us for the second Annual Meeting of the Net Impact Boston Professional Chapter!

Now in its second year, this event is intended to serve as an annual forum for members to meet and hear directly from the Leadership Team on plans for the coming year. It is also your chance to provide feedback on the work being done to ensure that the professional chapter builds on our successes (Gold Chapter, 2014 Chapter of the Year), continually adds value to our members, as well as to the greater social impact and sustainability community. Meeting and hearing from you about what works and about opportunities to further improve the Boston Professional Chapter will help us to maximize the value the organization can bring to you and ensure that we continue to offer the most relevant content and events!

Holland & Knight has graciously offered their space for this event. And we are honored to have Risa Sherman, Manager of Philanthropy and Cause Marketing for the Boston Beer Company, joining us as Keynote Speaker for the evening.

There will be a networking reception to follow. We hope you can join us to provide input, meet the 2014-2015 Leadership Team and learn about other ways to get involved in our chapter.
