The first meeting of the 2010 Non-Profit Network convened on February 4th, with about 40 people representing over 30 non-profit organizations from the Greater Boston area attending. During the meeting, Building Impact executive director Lisa Guyon told the story of how Building Impact started and the evolution of our relationships with all of our non-profit partners. Program Coordinator Tamara Vatnick then presented information on the goals, expectations, and logistics of the network. After the presentation, we opened up the floor to discussion on how to best use this network going forward, and heard some great ideas from our partners. Some of the suggestions included coming together to discuss best practices for recruiting, managing, and retaining volunteers, and how best to use social media. We also talked about creating a list serve to share volunteer needs and opportunities. Thanks to everyone who participated, and a special thank you to The Philanthropic Initiative for letting us use their space.
