Organization Expectations
You now have the power to introduce UCLA Anderson MBA students to board service and gain new ideas from future business leaders. This program is provided by multiple prestigious business schools across the nation including Stanford, Northwestern, and Harvard for organizations in their surrounding communities—it is also supported by the national Net Impact organization. We are excited that non-profits in the greater Los Angeles area will now be able to partner with UCLA Anderson students and receive these benefits as well.
