2006 Accordence Pro Bono Competition
Next month, Accordence, Inc. will begin a two-month application period to solicit applications from non-profit organizations that would like to win two days of pro-bono training, consulting or mediation. By the end of 2005, Accordence will select one organization and grant two days of our services free of charge (including travel and shipping expenses). As Heather Meeker Green, COO of Accordence, says, "In this time of shrinking resources for non-profit organizations, this is an opportunity for Accordence to give back to the community at large. It's a chance for our organization to pay it forward, if you will, with our expertise." If you are an organization who would like to apply or you know of an organization deserving of free consulting, please email heather@accordence.com for an application. Acceptance of applications will end on November 30, 2005.
