We would greatly appreciate it if your organization could share this opportunity with your members. The program is designed to be both career-building and financially supportive.
I’ve attached a flyer. If it would be helpful, I’d be glad to hop on a quick teams call with you or your leadership team to talk through the program and answer questions. You can reach me at dakiener@uncg.edu. For registration, participants can also contact innovate@uncg.edu.
