Prospective candidates are professionals and / or business owners in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan region; have a specific passion to make a difference in Baltimore; have time available to participate in the training (a 3-hour evening training for 3 consecutive weeks and social/professional networking follow-ups); and the willingness to follow through with service on a non-profit Board. For more information on how you can become a Board Pipeline Professional, please contact A. Adar Ayira with “Board Pipeline” in the subject line or call 443-524-7732.
