SVP provides the opportunity for leadership development and growth. Participating as a partner in SVP is just as much about learning as it is about giving back. Partners develop leadership, consulting, and management skills while gaining a deeper understanding of the issues facing our community and local nonprofits. Growing through engagement is a powerful experience and it’s also about building relationships with other like-minded professionals as well as attending a wide variety of educational sessions. Our business partners tell us their company gains just as much from the experience as they give.
