A Note from the Co-Presidents

Dear Friends,

For the second year in a row, the Seattle Professional Chapter has received Gold status standing from Net Impact Central! This year only 8 of the 55 professional chapters received this award – a tremendous achievement. We had to meet a rigorous set of requirements based on our activities and membership reach, and we also strengthened the overall Net Impact chapter network through local collaborations and mentoring other chapters.

Highlights of the year include:

• “A Conversation with Dan Bross: Senior Director of Corporate Citizenship at Microsoft:” A joint event with the University of Washington Foster School of Business Net Impact Chapter
• “Pursuing your Passion through Social Entrepreneurship:” A dinner and dialogue with Carol Schillios, Founder of Fabric of Life Fair Trade Foundation
• “Fair Trade Chocolate and Conversation:” A factory tour of Theo Chocolate followed by conversation at a local bar
• Many networking events, including our first annual “Speed Networking”
• Creation of a popular monthly Book Club that focuses on sustainability issues and solutions

We are continuing to improve our chapter and hope to provide many more opportunities for Seattle members to develop professionally, network, and engage in passionate idea-driven conversations with other members and local experts. Our goal is to engage individuals, advance the conversation of the importance of a triple bottom line approach to business, and empower members to make long-lasting positive change in our workplaces and communities.

Kudos to our fantastic board and members for making this all possible!
