I'm a big fan of 85 Broads - it's an excellent network of women professionals in a variety of fields. This event looks pretty cool, esp. if you're interested in more about how to be on a nonprofit board!
Happy networking,

In addition, our accomplished panel will share their advice and insights about non-profit involvement: what are the legal duties of non-profit board members, what you need to know before saying “yes” to a non-profit board position, and how to utilize the opportunity once you are involved.
After the panel, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the non-profits and network with other senior-level attendees from our evening’s co-hosts: the international law firm K&L Gates LLP, the global women’s professional network 85 Broads, and the Hispanic National Bar Association.

About 85 Broads
85 Broads is an exclusive global women’s network whose mission is to generate exceptional professional and social value for its members. Through regional events and our online, password-protected community, members engage in a rapid, high-powered exchange of ideas and information which is what makes 85 Broads unique.
From 1997 to 2000, 85 Broads was a network founded exclusively for current and former Goldman Sachs women who worked at 85 Broad Street, the firm's NYC headquarters, and at other GS offices worldwide. In 2000, we realized that we were "too exclusive" and at the urging of women at Harvard Business School, we invited HBS women to join, along with thousands of women at other leading graduate business schools in the US and abroad, irrespective of chosen career path.
In 2004, we recognized the need to include women at the undergraduate level who were pursuing every career path imaginable and over the next 3 years, we created clubs on over 40 campuses in the US and abroad.
And in 2007, we extended membership in 85 Broads to all trailblazing women worldwide, irrespective of one's college or graduate school affiliation.
The women in 85 Broads are entrepreneurs, investment bankers, consultants, lawyers, educators, venture capitalists, hedge fund managers, philanthropists, athletes, doctors, engineers, artists, and rocket scientists. Learn more about our exclusive network and apply for membership.
