Think Change: OLC 2012 a Great Success

NetIP North America proudly hosted the 2012 Officers’ Leadership Conference (OLC) in Dallas, Texas last  weekend.  It was an amazing opportunity for chapter leaders across North America to receive leadership training and to network with one another.

Presentations included discussions about 2012 NetIP initiatives regarding, but not limited to, Charity is Colorblind (CiC) with an Education focus and the Day of Service Initiative, the 2012 theme of THINK CHANGE, a discussion regarding membership structure, and a live demo of a customized technology platform, a state of the organization report, a presentation regarding legal duties as a nonprofit board officer and particularly a NetIP officer, discussions about insurance coverage, a discussion about obtaining sponsorship and the External Affairs structure, a discussion about how to roadmap a Charity is Colorblind (CiC) campaign, and a best practices discussion by Texas NetIP Leaders. Chapter officers were also treated to a moving presentation on volunteerism by Tanya Pinto, founder of Dallas-based non-profit Baal Dan.

Attendees left OLC energized and ready to share their knowledge with their respective chapters. We wish all our chapters success in 2012.
