In our next Town Hall meeting, we will explore the why and ways of Pro Bono consulting, even how it can elevate your own professional potential. As an added bonus we will be joined by Dr. Sara Weiner who, in addition to a fabulous consulting career, is currently Chair of SIOP’s United Nations Committee (SIOP is APA Division 14, the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology). Come join us and hear how Sara and other applied psychologists help make a contribution to the work of the United Nations. We will commence at 6:00 PM Eastern, spend part of our time in small breakout groups where you can share your own experience of Pro Bono consulting, hear others’ stories, and perhaps discover your next opportunity.
