Sharon Oster Helps to Kick Off a New NY Alumni Nonprofit Interest Group

In late November, Prof. Sharon Oster treated a group of SOM alumni to an all-too-brief return to her classroom when she kicked off a new NYC area alumni nonprofit interest group. Sharon spoke to alumni about her recent, very timely research with Ira Millstein on nonprofit governance, and led a lively discussion on the topic. In addition to the program itself, the 30 alumni who were able to attend the limited-seating event were very excited to meet each other and are looking forward to more (and larger) events in the future.

A joint effort of the SOMAA and the new Program on Social Enterprise at SOM, the event was conceived of and organized by Lexy Mayers '00. The group aims to strengthen the network of SOM alumni involved or interested in nonprofit management. If you would like to participate, or have ideas about future events, please contact Lexy Mayers (lmayers@cool-culture.org) or Rebecca Martin '99 (rebecca.martin@yale.edu).
