Boards of Directors, Advisory Councils, Steering Committees: We've all heard about these forms of volunteer leadership before, but what do they really mean, and how do they help bring about social change? Join us to hear Robert Eggers, Gabriela Schneider, and Shelley Moskowitz discuss the different ways they contribute to changing the world. You'll find out the most valued qualities they look for in board members and advisers, and how to find the right place for you to share your skills. Robert Egger is the Founder and President of the DC Central Kitchen, the nation's first "community kitchen", where unemployed men and women learn marketable culinary skills while donated food is converted into balanced meals. Robert has been on the Non Profit Times "50 Most Powerful and Influential Nonprofit Leaders" list in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. Gabriela Schneider is the Communications Director of the Sunlight Foundation. She has co-directed Net2SquaredDC: Where social change and technology Meetup. | ||
