The Big Next: August 2009 August 20, 2009

The Big NEXT: CauseConnext August 2009 Happy Hour
* find a cause : connect with passion : do the next *

Calling all professional and nonprofit folks! Paul Hsu, Jerry Chen, Jenny Lee, Bernard Ho and Keith Kamisugi invite you to an informal evening of drinks and discussions. This event is free.

CauseConnext's goal is to connect Asian American nonprofit organizations with young professionals passionate about helping the community in two specific ways:

1. Match talented young professionals with nonprofits in impactful volunteer and board leadership roles. We accomplish this by personally connecting folks with organizations based on needs and interests.

2. Help nonprofits better source and work with young professionals, building a relationship that can turn volunteers eventually into valuable board members and other leaders in the organization.

Feel free to post your nonprofit cause or event to the wall.

Stay tuned for a list of confirmed nonprofit organizations participating in this event.
