What's New
Benevolence Farm is fortunate to have Ashley Martin and Mary Knighton-Brenner serving as non-voting members on our Board of Directors through the UNC Kenan-Flagler Nonprofit Board Fellows program which places MBA students on nonprofit Boards during one academic year. Benevolence Farm benefits by gaining access to talented business leaders, such as Ashley and Mary, who offer new insights and have a wide range of business skills. Additionally, through the program, participating nonprofits join a larger network, which includes the UNC community, other nonprofits in the area, and a pool of candidates for future Board and staff positions. The program benefits students by providing them with exposure to high-level strategy and leadership experiences, the opportunity to interact with experienced mentors, the chance to serve the local community, and the training and tools necessary to serve on a Board post-graduation. Ashley has generously applied her expertise toward our annual budget and Mary toward our business plan.
Ashley Martin and Mary Knighton-Brenner,
MBA Candidates, Kenan-Flagler Business School Class of 2013
