Esther, AMAIDI Regional Coordinator for Europe, was delighted to attend the 6th Global Pro Bono Summit (GPBS), which took place in Mumbai from 6 to 9 February 2018.\u00a0The Global Pro Bono Summit is designed as a combination of two conventions – one focused on developing and strengthening the Global Pro Bono Network and the other bringing together pro bono leaders – members, foundations, corporate and professional pro bono leaders – to share and work together to grow the pro bono movement worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Purpose of the Network Days (for members only)<\/h3>\n

During the first two days Esther participated in a series of meetings of the members of the Global Pro Bono Network (GPBN). These network days were dedicated to discussing and agreeing on the next steps in the development of the GPBN, its goals and the directions in which the member organisations want to push the network forward. At a time when the network is evolving from a project run and funded by the BMW Foundation and the Taproot Foundation to a member-driven, self-governing and ultimately self-funded network, it is essential to take a closer look at the network itself. During the two days that we spend together as network members, we only want to deepen our relationships, build trust and have fun, but also spend time on the purpose, value proposition, strategy and priorities of the network, as well as its leadership, roles, responsibilities and processes, all of which enable maximum member participation and future engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
