Our CEO, Lois Nesci, and ServiceNet’s CEO, Bruno Calouro, spent time yesterday with students at Springfield College, joining a social work policy class led by Bill Fisher.

They shared honest insight into what leadership in the nonprofit space really looks like. The decisions. The challenges. The responsibility that comes with serving our communities every day.

I appreciate spaces like this where students get to hear directly from leaders in the field. It brings their learning to life and grounds it in real experience.

They were grateful to be part of the conversation and to help invest in the next generation of social work leaders.
