Board Training and Placement through the Board Impact Program (BIP)

We can help employees who want to join a nonprofit board by training and placing them on a nonprofit board. BIP is a Board Training and/or Matching Program for anyone who would like to learn or receive a refresher on the roles and responsibilities of a board member. You will

• Learn the basics about boards, roles, and responsibilities
• Hear from professional fundraisers and certified public accountants
• Hear from a panel of nonprofit leadership and
• Have the option to participate in the “speed” matching service

If you are interested in participating on May 7, please complete the online application or learn more about the program. Email Marion Brunken to learn more.

“During our HR offsite, [Volunteer Alexandria] arranged for us to create educational and social-emotional tools for Preschoolers (popsicle sticks with numbers or letters that could be used to reinforce learning sounds and number identification). This was an outstanding activity that both supported our Genesys values and provided a learning experience for all of us. Thank you!” Chris Johnson, Genesys
