Board Bank Class of 2012
Member Milestones
JLC Members Join Local Non-Profit Boards
By Tara Bonistall Noland
Members of the first Board Bank class hit the ground running after the program finished last spring. Eighteen women participated in the training series, which was developed in partnership with ArtsWave. The series prepared our members for the responsibility of serving on an organization’s Board of Directors, and also helped match them with local non-profits.
