Local Net Impact chapter?

Feb 8, 2010

Net Impact co-founder, Mark Albion, is giving a free talk here in Portland. I've seen him speak and would recommend this talk to anyone interested in making a difference in their world or through their work.

Here's the original post:

Business community invited to USM events on Sustainable Business (& formation of a Net Impact Chapter) February 25 and 26.

THURSDAY,  Feb. 25, 4:45–5:30 pm, University Events Room, 7th floor Glickman Library, Portland Campus.

Libra Professor Mark Albion will set the stage for the formation of a Net Impact chapter in Portland with his presentation, "More than Money: Building a Career That Reflects Your Values." Dr. Mark Albion is cofounder of Net Impact, a network of over 15,000 business leaders, students, and corporate sponsors who are committed to using the power of business to improve the world.  Using stories and humor, Mark will offer suggestions for the development of a personal, authentic 'destiny plan,' and he will illustrate the value of forming a local Net Impact chapter, in which business professionals, graduate students, andundergraduates leaders develop projects that use business skills to create a more socially and environmentally sustainable world.  Mark, the author of seven books, recently joined Babson College's Office of the President to implement the college's new strategy for every student to create "great economic and social value… everywhere," or as he says, "educating students to become the best for the world.

^{FRIDAY, Feb. 26: Those interested in forming a local Net Impact chapter are invited to return the next day from 2:15– 3:15 pm for brainstorming and discussion of next steps.}

The Thursday evening event is co-sponsored by the L.L. Bean/Lee Surace Colloquium Series.
