Global Links, a Pittsburgh-based nonprofit, is a medical relief and development organization dedicated to supporting health improvement initiatives in resource-poor communities and promoting environmental stewardship in the US healthcare system. Recently celebrating their 30th anniversary, they have focused internally on board development to prepare the organization for many more milestone events.
