This was 2018 at OnBoard, a board training conference led by @ChicagoBooth @RustandyCenter.I went to this same conference in 2008 when I became a 1st time mom, knowing that I would sit on Fortune 500 boards later in my career. See the forest before the trees.Invest in Yourself.

Congratulations to the second cohort of IGNITE on their graduation. The program, developed by Chicago Booth with Golub Capital and the Chicago Urban League, offers resources for leaders of nonprofits serving the Black community. It will accept new applications in the fall.

Another influence that business schools can play is through data creation and provision of data to faculty. At @RustandyCenter we partnered to help collect data on the impact of the pandemic on households in the US. This allowed researchers and beyond to learn and react quickly.

The @RustandyCenter Global Launchpad Demo Day and luncheon talk were held on Feb 21 with great success. Ten social entrepreneurial teams pitched their ventures to @UChicago’s experts after training provided by UChicago faculty. #SocialImpact #Entrepreneur #SustainableBusiness
