Board Connection

"The Board Connection program was exactly what I was looking for – a thorough crash course into the world of non-profit boards of directors."

SEBASTIAN CIMON GAGNON, BOARD CONNECTION PARTICIPANT

“Coming out face-to-face, seeing and talking to people from the community has an impact that goes beyond writing a check. Donating your time is rewarding.”

SEAN ADAMS, VOLUNTEER

“Without this program, I would not have known what to expect in not only my role (on a nonprofit board) but how a board is structured. I feel like my board experience has helped me to grow my leadership skills and I think that helps not only in my personal life but in my professional life here at Sun Life.”

SAMANTHA BREEN, SUN LIFE, BOARD CONNECTION PARTICIPANT
