Welcome to the website of Net Impact's DC Professional Chapter! At the crossroads of business, public policy and sustainability, the DC Professional Chapter works to inspire, educate and equip professionals to use the power of business to make the vision of a more socially and environmentally responsible world a reality.

To meet that goal, we offer a diverse array of opportunities and programs across the year, including:

  • Ongoing event tracks, like our Impact Investing series, offering entrepreneurs information to help them identify environmentally and socially responsible companies or projects to pursue;
  • Panel discussions, ranging from “carbon capitalism” to a primer on B Certified companies and Benefit Corporations;
  • Special Interest Dinners, where small groups join thought leaders to break bread and debate;
  • Chapter Dinners and Happy Hours, networking events where practitioners in a variety of fields can share experiences, best practices, or business opportunities;
  • Our award-winning Service Corps program, which pairs professionals with nonprofits in need, offering those organizations pro bono consulting services.
