Volunteer with Govern

Be Part of Govern for Impact’s Volunteer Network

(from the desk of our CEO, Karen Fryday-Field)

Everyone wants to be part of something and to do something that matters – something that makes a difference in the world,
i.e. positive impact.

But where can you start?

You can put your passion and your knowledge and talent to work to enhance governance excellence around the world by volunteering with Govern for Impact.

We are an international organization committed to building and sustaining highly functioning boards is a holistic discipline, separate and apart from the executive and management skills. When both a board and its executive pull in the same direction with strong clarity about their distinct and mutually dependent roles, there occurs a synergy that propels a non-profit or business or government entity to thrive, strengthening its impact on the people and communities it services. At Govern for Impact, not only do we imagine such a future, we diligently and deliberately work toward it – with devotion, passion, and know-how. We invite you to engage with us. The sole purpose of Govern for Impact is to help advance this reality.

No matter where you live or your specific knowledge in governance, you can make a difference by sharing some of your time with our ‘Govern Volunteer Network’. To explore possibilities please see the Govern for Impact website to see what we are about. Also check out the list below to see some the volunteer jobs available right now. You can also call Kathy Wiener (908-456-1302 or [email protected]) or contact Athens Kolias ([email protected]). We welcome your involvement and ideas. I also look, forward to connecting with you (Cell: 519-671-2510 or [email protected]). In the next few weeks, there will also be a place on our website to register your interest in joining our Volunteer Network. I really hope that you choose to join this amazing team of people.
