“I enrolled in the Introductory Series to learn about joining a not-for-profit board. At Cisco, employees are encouraged to join not-for-profit boards for professional development and as an opportunity to give back to the communities where we work and live. The Get On Board Program was excellent. The speakers are experienced directors and experts in board governance. I learned how to prepare a board resume and an action plan to push me towards reaching my board goals”
