Linking New Leaders is a fun, fast paced “speed dating” style event that brings together community-minded young professionals with local nonprofit organizations.

The goal is to connect up-and-coming professionals who want to contribute their time and expertise to a variety of engagement opportunities including positions on boards, committees, and “friends” groups.

How it works:

BVU Business Members nominate candidates to participate.

BVU works with our nonprofit partners to identify the right engagement opportunities.

BVU brings together the candidates and the nonprofits for a “speed dating” event where candidates will be able to meet with each nonprofit for 5 minutes.

At the end of the event, BVU makes the match based on the candidate’s interest and the nonprofit’s need.
