United Way’s VIP is a training program offered in spring, summer and fall. It is designed to develop and enhance leadership skills and increase diverse volunteer participation in nonprofit board and leadership positions in Greater Atlanta. VIP gives participants the tools to serve as effective board members of local nonprofit agencies.
VIP inspired me to seek a board position based on qualities that are important to me. Board participation is more about quality over quantity. It also served as a reminder to never forget the mission of a non-profit, which is to seek ways to serve and assist those in need.
