Event Details

Lunch with a Leader is a monthly, hour-long lunch series where YNPN members participate in a conference call with a non-profit leader from Greater Boston. This month's leader is Pat Kirby, Massachusetts State Executive Director of Citizen Schools, an organization that partners with middle schools to expand the learning day for children in low-income communities across the country. Pat brings over a decade of management experience in both the corporate and nonprofit sectors.

Leveraging his well-rounded experiences as teacher, corporate responsibility guru and now executive director, Pat will share his perspective on his career path, how and why he made the move from the for-profit to the non-profit sector, and how he is applying the skills and lessons he's learned to his work at Citizen Schools.

Participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance to YNPN Board Member Dorie Withey-Perricone. A YNPN board member or ambassador will lead the first 30 minutes of the discussion using the questions submitted, and then the call will be opened to all participants for follow-up questions.
