The Fox Valley community is lucky to have employers such as Lawrence University who are committed to finding ways to giving back to the places they operate. Nonprofit Leadership Initiative (NPLI) offers a way to discover how individuals can give back, as well as enhance their own critical thinking and communication skills by serving nonprofit organizations. By attending Board Connect, individuals experience their community differently as they learn about the work of the nonprofits and the committee, task-forces and board positions required to help meet the nonprofit’s mission.
