Re: Non-profit Cause always equals Great Networking
Yes, I agree, David. Now, here's my only caution.
Just be sure that you truly believe in their mission. That you're not doing it to "be seen" or to "make contacts with that CEO or CFO" or to be able to sit side by side with so & so.
The 'breath test' with non-profits is they are seeking people who value their mission and vision. If you really buy into that and support that then you will make some stellar connections. They can be meaningful and long lasting and very rewarding both personally and professionally.
If you go in there with a personal agenda, that's not focused on the organization, then people will be wary and they will sense your insincerity a mile a way.
