Wednesday, February 6th, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm - Duques 552
A new survey of young nonprofit workers shows that long hours and low pay are key reasons that few of them expect to stay in the charity world throughout their professional careers -- and even fewer desire to become top leaders of nonprofit organizations. This trend does not bode well for the nonprofit sector. GW Net Impact and the Young Non-Profit Professionals Network of DC (YNPN) are partnering to address this issue through a discussion group to develop recommendations.

Join the Net Impact Summer
Fellowship Fundraising Committee
We are forming
a committee to raise funds for the Fellowship Fund which supports Net
Impact members who pursue an internship in the public or nonprofit sectors.
These internships are generally un- or under-paid, so this Fellowship helps
supplement student's living expenses.
We raised
$5,500 last year, an increase from $1,800 the year before! This is the
Fellowship Fund's third year and we'd like to continue this effort of
supporting students who work in these very important sectors. Last summer the
Fund supported two students who worked at the American Council on Renewable
Energy in Washington, DC
and the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GBC)
in New York City.

"The Corporation" Film
Screening and Discussion
When: March 28, 2007
Where: Alumni House, 1925 F
St. NW
Fee: $5 for non-members
FREE for NI and GWUCGS
members
Co-presented by Net Impact and the
GWU Center for Globalization Studies
presents. Come and win a GWU bookstore $50
gift card! RSVP to acarrani@gwu.edu.
Provoking, witty, stylish and
sweepingly informative, The
Corporation explores the nature and spectacular rise
of the dominant institution of our time. Part film and part movement, The
Corporation is transforming audiences and dazzling critics with its insightful
and compelling analysis. Taking its status as a legal "person" to the logical
conclusion, the film puts the corporation on the psychiatrist's couch to ask
"What kind of person is it?" The Corporation includes interviews with
40 corporate insiders and
critics - including Noam Chomsky, Naomi
Klein, Milton Friedman, Howard Zinn, Vandana Shiva and Michael Moore - plus true
confessions, case studies and strategies for
change. Watch the trailer here.
Questions we will consider include:
- What role should the corporation play in our lives, if any?
- Branding
connects consumers to a product emotionally and/or intellectually. Has
it undermined our ability to connect to non-branded issues?
- Can social responsibility cure what ails the corporation? Is the marketplace and consumer punishment the best way to ensure businesses act ethically?
- How would you balance the legal weight of trade agreements with a nation's right to sovereignty?
