CCT Knowledge Hub

When I first applied to CCT, I was not accepted to a project however, an opportunity became present to get involved with the marketing committee.

 I worked on seven full projects, including as project manager on the SOWMA project and one mini project. I also did two years of site visits.  I enjoyed the camaraderie of the team working on projects. It's great to learn from so many fellow CCT people as well as the client representatives. 

After moving to Boston about nine years ago, I was trying to make new friends and do some professional networking. I discovered a wonderful woman who went to both my undergraduate college and graduate school so I asked her to meet for coffee. She was a long-time CCT volunteer and suggested I get involved as well. It took me a couple of years before I signed up - wish I’d done it earlier.

While we will dearly miss Jessica Morris and her decisive pragmatism as the Volunteer Relations Co-Chair, we are excited to welcome Chris Patel to the Board. Having served as a Project Manager and currently serving on the EDIB Committee, he's been able to see the volunteer role from many angles! Outside of CCT,

Engaging, impactful, and rewarding! CCT helped me expand my network in Boston, contribute to worthwhile causes, and re-live the MBA study group experience! I’ve served as a project manager so far (what that means is that I’m a show-horse more than a work-horse!). I’m constantly amazed by how CCT teams are able to moonlight as consultants for these organizations and deliver valuable insights.

I have found CCT to be a tremendously rewarding experience on so many levels.  First and foremost, it’s always so rewarding to have an opportunity to help so many organizations that are dedicated to great causes.  But it’s also always great to meet like-minded professionals in the area that are also drawn to helping these non-profits.  I’ve met so many people with varied backgrounds that I would not have had a chance to get to know otherwise.
