Net Impact Philadelphia Receives Net Impact’s Gold Chapter Standing
Top Net Impact chapters recognized for their extraordinary 2015-2016 achievements
 
(Oakland, CA) – Net Impact has announced the 2016 Gold standings for Net Impact chapters, awarding Net Impact Philadelphia the prestigious Gold standing. These standings, based on the chapter’s performance this past academic year, represent the most outstanding chapters in the Net Impact network. This year, just 38% of over 300 Net Impact chapters worldwide achieved Gold standing.
 
“Of our network of over 300 chapters worldwide, Net Impact’s Gold chapters represent the brightest, most committed impact leaders who are making a difference on their campuses and in their communities," says Net Impact CEO Liz Maw. “These chapters are inspiring and equipping young people to use their careers to lead our world to a more sustainable and equitable future.”
 
Chapters achieve Gold standing by meeting a rigorous set of requirements based on their activities, programming, and network contribution. This year, the Net Impact network led a multitude of events and programs that allowed members to positively impact their communities.
 
Ryan Spies, the Chapter’s President, said “The 2015-2016 Net Impact calendar year has just finished and I am so excited to announce the Philly Professional Chapter has achieved GOLD Status for the second year in a row! This is a recognition of the outstanding work done by my fellow board members (Laura, Russ, Eleonore, Rachel and Ava) who over the course of the year hosted 10+ events covering wide ranging topics from GMOs, corporate sustainability, greenbuilding and a showcase of our BoardFellows Program. We also grew our chapter’s membership base, connected professionals across a variety of interests, and expanded the influence of our organization by partnering with impact driven groups across the Philly region.  I believe it was a banner year for our chapter, and one that deserves this recognition. This status also comes with tangible benefits to our chapter, including a higher percentage of membership dues that helps us put on more events, and special discounts to the Conference for our members. I hope you can join us at events starting this summer, the Conference here in Philadelphia this Fall, and future programs as we continue to use business as a force for good.”
 
Gold chapters are recognized broadly across the Net Impact network through Net Impact’s digital channels and at the annual Net Impact conference.
