About this Event
We cordially invite you to the Institute for Nonprofit Practice’s Art of Leading for Good at the on November 17th from 6–8pm ET! During this annual event, our gracious hosts Sue and Bernie Pucker welcome the INP community to their gallery in Boston for a special evening of inspiration, connection, and appreciation for the leaders driving change. Throughout the evening, we’ll explore how leadership, creativity, and the arts can strengthen communities through:
- A conversation with Founder & Executive Director of Project 351 about what it means to lead for good by investing in the courage, compassion, and potential of young people. Drawing on three decades of leadership across sectors, Carolyn will share insights from Project 351’s work mobilizing young leaders across Massachusetts to serve, build community, and create positive change.
- Insights from our moderator for the evening, Charlie Rose of City Year. A visionary leader, Charlie’s far-reaching impact over more than four decades has helped shape a future-ready Boston, while equipping countless young people with the tools to be change agents in their communities. His experience as Board Chair of Project 351 promises to fuel a lively fireside chat with Carolyn Casey that you won’t want to miss.
- A special performance by Karen Young and KASA Taiko and Friends bringing the energy and power of taiko to the Pucker Gallery. A cultural organizer, teaching artist, and taiko player with more than 30 years of experience, Karen uses the arts to build connection, inspire action, and create space for collective expression.
- Time for community and connection, whether you’re reconnecting with classmates or meeting new members of the INP community. We’ll also celebrate Boston-area leaders whose dedication to serving others will be recognized with INP’s 2026 Changemaker Awards.
Come enjoy food and drinks, take in the Pucker Gallery, and spend an evening connecting with fellow leaders and celebrating the many ways our community leads for good.
Space will be limited. Be sure to register early to save your spot! Please note that this is an invitation-only gathering for the local INP community. We ask that you register individually and do not share the registration link with others.
