 Project Inclusion is a Board Governance Leadership and Development
Program sponsored by United Way of South Hampton Roads. This program
has received a national award from United Way of America as one of
three best practice programs in the country for diversity.
United Way of South Hampton Roads is actively pursuing inclusiveness on
committees and boards of certified agencies. Project inclusion prepares
volunteers for board governance with United Way agency boards as well
as other volunteer organizations. This training is an on-going process
to benefit the entire South Hampton Roads community. While the focus is
on the non-profit sector, the leadership skills that the participants
acquire are beneficial to any company.
Project Inclusion gives participants the opportunity to sharpen their
leadership and management skills, meet new contacts and agency
representatives, and acquire an enormous sense of fulfillment and
satisfaction for contributing to the well being of others in your
community.
