- 14. Members in action Caren Holzman Director of Certification TransFair USA “ Networking via Net Impact helped me to sustain myself through paid projects while I looked for a full-time position. Not only did I make money and build my skill set and resume, I also made great friends” Sanjay Wagle Vice President, Clean Tech Vantage Point Venture Partners “ I went to business school because I felt that the best way to address the world’s social and environmental problems was through the power of business. Socially responsible business is still a small world – I keep bumping into Net Impact people everywhere. The Net Impact network has played a huge role in my career development.” Kyle Schott Manager, Environment & Social Responsibility McDonald’s Corporation “ Often times large companies make you feel like you’re on your own; Net Impact makes you feel like you have a community. Going to a conference and seeing 1,300 people who are the next wave of leadership, running companies and being passionate about these issues, it’s really inspiring.”

- 23. Why join Net Impact Net Impact has four membership levels: Student membership: $25 / year International Student membership: $15/year Professional membership: $50 / year International Professional: $25/year Lifetime membership: $350 one-time fee Newsletter membership: free, includes newsletter only Why does Net Impact charge dues? To support our member programming and organization Some activities are hard to fund through philanthropy (e.g. career services) Member dues are a more sustainable/reliable source of funding than philanthropy In 2005, member and chapter dues represented 11% of our revenue; goal is to raise this to 19% by 2008 To make membership more significant We believe annual dues shows an investment and commitment to the organization Studies show people believe ‘they get what they pay for’ Why should members pay dues ? To support the Net Impact mission to change the world through business To take advantage of members-only opportunities and resources (more detail to follow) To identify yourself as a full member, demonstrating your commitment to using business for a positive social impact
