Nonprofiteer of the Year 2013

Lifestyle
Written By Kenny Kane

In June, I found out I was a finalist for the Young Non-Profit Professionals Network of New York City's Nonprofiteer of the Year 2013 award.  I was stoked to be nominated for my first professional award. As soon as I found out, I had several colleagues forward me the newsletter YNPN-NYC had sent out, along with the 4 other finalists.  Quite an impressive list of people:

John Hellman (@JuanEstebanNYC) Director of Advocacy, Latino Commission on AIDS

John Moreno (@JohncitoMoreno) Founder, Latino Youth for Higher Education Program

Tara Pokras (@tpokras) Program Assistant, Project Sunshine

Mon Yuck Yu Chief of Staff, Academy of Medical & Public Health Services

The event was held in at the Center for Social Innovation on June 27th.  It was a nice intimate gathering of like-minded individuals.  The winner was named towards the end of the event after the 5 of us offered up some career advice.  I was honored to have been selected and thankful to everyone who nominated me!
