The management challenges and opportunities facing the public and nonprofit sectors have become increasingly complex in recent years. Net Impact provides a resource for MBA students interested in exploring opportunities in the public and non-profit sectors. Some members are interested in careers in these areas while others may be interested in serving on non-profit boards or simply learning more about these sectors.
Net Impact co-hosts a Speakers Series and Professional Development sessions where members meet with prominent professionals from a variety of organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. It also sponsors opportunities to meet Haas alumni, and refers students to non-profit organizations for class projects as well as career networking.
For more information, or to join, please contact one of the two Vice Presidents.
