Strategic Plan Update<\/h2>\n

The Bol\u00edvar Network Board underwent a strategic planning process for the upcoming year with the deep support of UVA\u2019s Organizational Excellence department. Through this multi-day process, the Board has landed on focusing on three priority areas for the upcoming year: fundraising for and disbursing scholarships; building up a mentorship component to the Network; and fostering more connections between alumni, students, and the University. The Board will continue to plan around these focus areas. If you have any ideas or want to volunteer to be on the board for the upcoming year, please reach out.<\/a><\/p>\n
