Mission
& History
Mission
The
mission of the UC Berkeley Net Impact Club at the Haas School
of Business is to develop and inspire a network of leaders who
promote innovation and socially responsible practices that succeed
in the global marketplace.
History
Net
Impact is one of the largest and most active clubs at Haas.
In 2003, the club merged with the Nonprofit and Public Management
Club, broadening its mission and combining resources and strengthening
the club's presence on campus. Now, Net Impact focuses on helping
students pursue careers that promote socially responsible practices
in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors.
The
Haas club is a local chapter of Net Impact, a national network
of business school students, alumni, and other leaders using
the power of business to create a sustainable economy and a
just world. With nearly 100 chapters across the globe, Net Impact
is an organization of nearly 10,000 MBA's and professionals,
and is one of the most progressive and influential networks
of MBA's in existence today.
Net
Impact was previously known as Students for Responsible Business
(SRB). In 1995, Haas hosted the 3rd Annual SRB National Conference.
At the November 1999 National Conference held at the University
of Michigan, the Haas chapter was awarded the LEAD (Leadership,
Education, Action, and Development) Award, recognizing the chapter
for its strength, motivation, and leadership.
