NCPC Committees
NCPC invites you to join one of our committees! Become a part of an enthusiastic community of thoughtful leaders who are strengthening and promoting philanthropy in San Diego! We have a variety of committees dedicated to carrying our mission forward. Being part of any one of these committees provides an opportunity to gain new skills in professional development and leadership as well as a great way to connect with local colleagues. Whether you would like to focus on a skill you already have or would like to learn a new one, we are happy to have you involved. NCPC fosters a just, equitable, diverse and inclusive (JEDI), community in San Diego County – starting with ourselves. Please fill out the form and a Committee Chair will contact you.
