Last week felt like a community, not just a cohort.

We kicked off an expanded Board Fellows program at Net Impact Philadelphia, and the energy in the room said it all: people showed up ready to learn, contribute, and build something together.

Board service can feel opaque from the outside. Our goal is to make it clearer, more welcoming, and genuinely useful for both fellows and host organizations. This year’s expansion means more placements, more peer support, and more chances to turn “I want to help” into real governance muscle.

If you’ve served on a board, what’s one thing that makes a board experience actually work?

Net Impact Philly showed out to the .news SustainPHL 2025 event!

President Josh Filer was able to serve on the event committee and members from Net Impact were able to represent and network!

We also got to meet up with the team and take a great photo! Congrats to them on their nomination and our new partnership!

B Lab founder Bart Houlahan put it well at the event when he said “We need to start building communities with more care”

Let us lead the charge with care, so that we might build a more sustainable future- together!

Fresh perspective + tangible project = Board Fellows

Fellow-friendly projects: member onboarding, board development, event planning, community outreach
