The Net Impact Board Fellows Program matches UC Davis Graduate School of Management MBA candidates (who are also members of Net Impact) with the boards of nonprofit organizations for one year fellowships. The program benefits both parties: students gain exposure to nonprofit organizations and rewarding experience as non-voting board members, while participating nonprofits benefit from project or committee work, access to future business leaders with fresh perspectives, and affiliation with the Graduate School of Management.

Fellows work closely with trustees and executive directors, attending board meetings, serving on committtees, and working on special projects. As a result, Fellows gain a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced by nonprofit organizations, as well as the complexities of nonprofit management.

Larry Liu, International House - Davis

Kristie Donohoue, Boys and Girls Club of Sacramento

Deanna Gay, Environmental Council of Sacramento
