The Center for Nonprofits and Philanthropy (CNP) recently hosted its annual Bush Board Fellows Pinning Ceremony to thank outgoing Board Fellows and welcome new Fellows. This year the CNP celebrated the 15th Anniversary of the Bush Board Fellows program, which was started by Dr. Will Brown to give students hands-on experience working with nonprofit organizations and their boards.
Over the past 15 years, the program has grown to host 32 Bush School graduate students and 16 local nonprofit organizations. Some of the CNP partner nonprofit organizations include the American Red Cross, United Way, Habitat for Humanity, BCS Public Library, and Twin City Mission.
At the ceremony, Royce Hickman, from the BCS Chamber of Commerce, was recognized for his infallible support over the years that helped catalyze the program’s expansion. Hickman and many others were thanked for their work in making the Bush Board Fellows program as successful as it is today.
