"The HPGM Board Pipeline Initiative served as a great introduction to the structural, financial, and substantive components of organizational boards, helping me feel prepared to serve on one in my community. I now proudly serve on two Milwaukee non-profit boards as a result of my experience through this initiative."

"We were impressed with it all, from learning about the Pipeline Initiative and the training it affords young professionals, to actually meeting the remarkable graduates of the program. Best of all, through the networking event, we met two exciting and extraordinarily qualified individuals interested in serving on our Board of Directors."
