Corporate Volunteer Engagement: Part One: The Basics
In this two-part presentation, we will explore lessons learned from successfully developing a Holistic Partnership Approach to corporate volunteering and the organizational and financial benefits that can result. We will break down the successes and challenges related to this process, as well as discuss how sector trends can impact success. Through discussion, resource review, and take-away tools, these sessions will provide a framework for exploring the development and consideration of holistic partnership relationships as an approach to corporate volunteer engagement. Together we will explore the evaluation and recruitment processes, how to build a partnership menu, and how to integrate organizational standards into corporate volunteer engagement while incorporating long-term relationship stewardship. Unique to this two-part series is the opportunity for attendees to benefit and hear from both sides of the relationship. Part two includes a panel with corporate partner guests, sharing their perspectives on what makes a successful relationship.
