February 2010 FEW Program

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. - Holiday Inn St. Cloud

Featuring: Marian Bender - The Non Profit Choice: How to Make it Work for You.

Marian Bender climbed the corporate ladder in San Francisco during the early days of the high-tech boom, and only found more numbers, fewer friends, and more stress at the top. She left that firm, and after a six-month break for gardening and self-reflection, Marian took a position as Development Director at a non-profit organization, and put her marketing and management skills to work for an organization that worked to save California’s few remaining free-flowing rivers. While her salary went down, the rewards she received from her career dramatically increased, and she continues to work in the non-profit field here in St. Cloud. 

Marian will share her career story, dispel some of the myths of working in the non-profit world (you can still wear great clothes and have a decent house!) and share the many rewards that come from using your professional skills to make the world a better place. Marian will also discuss how business interests and caring for the earth and the community are not mutually exclusive, and how little decisions most of us make every day can contribute to a healthier planet for ourselves and for future generations.
