I see my future with non-profits on the board side of things. After getting my accounting degree and working in the field, I see myself being on at least one board. Since my future career path is unsure, I believe that is definitely subject to change. I would love to somehow incorporate non-profit work into my job at some point, but I am still unsure how I can make that happen exactly. Whether my job has nothing to do with my involvement in non-profit or whether they intertwine, I know that it will be something that is always present and that is reaffirmed at the Board Immersion Program.
I have learned that there is a lot involved with working on a board when it comes to politics, group dynamic, and networking. I think these are all things that makes sense looking back, but I had no idea how prevalent they were before going through the program. I think what I learned by hearing the good and the bad on these topics is invaluable when entering the non-profit world in the future. Having a leg up and knowing these things before getting involved, and maybe not getting involved where it looks too sticky, are something that I am very grateful to have learned.
I think what appeals to me the most is the passion that I see in the people involved in non-profit. I feel that it is something that I have always wanted in my life and to finally be a part of that now and, hopefully, more involved in the future is something that I am very excited about. Working towards something that I believe in passionately will always be the most appealing thing in my life.
