U2 Can Be Pro Bono

Having worked for both start-up & public companies, my professional "makeover" includes social giving. A few months ago, I applied to become a Pro Bono consultant for non-profits through the Taproot Foundation.   Of those who apply to work with Taproot, 45% are accepted.  I've been "tapped" as a Strategy Consultant. After an orientation & training in SF last week, I've targeted  a few projects on which I would like to contribute.  The time commitment is 3-5 hours a week, so I guess my horses will get an extra day off now an then. With a focus on small-business consulting, and a little pro bono, I'm happy to say my career is no longer focused around corporate shareholder value.  What's a Taproot?  If you're looking for a way to give back by leveraging your professional skills, check out Taproot.
