In 2007 Booz Allen Hamilton set out to help small nonprofits in the Washington, D.C. area gain access to expert advice and guidance on management and fundraising that was otherwise unattainable for them due to cost. In the four years since, the Booz Allen Hamilton Nonprofit Development Conference Series has grown exponentially and now successfully serves more than 400 unique nonprofit organizations with top tier guest speakers from around the metropolitan area who provide the sorely needed advice and guidance.
New one-day programs on volunteerism
By Susan Thomas, Assistant Director, Electronic Communications, Boston College Center
Many community involvement practitioners suffer from the nagging feeling that their employee volunteer programs are good but not yet great. However, their attempts at improvement have been hampered by the absence of useful benchmarking information and the absence of a guiding management framework capable of predicting success. How can you move your employee volunteer program from good to great?
The Boston College Center’s new one-day workshop is designed to answer this question.
In this one-day workshop Bea Boccalandro will offer support to employee volunteer program managers on both fronts. She will share findings from the leading benchmarking study, “Mapping Success in Employee Volunteering: The Drivers of Effectiveness for Employee Volunteering and Giving Programs and Fortune 500 Performance”. She will also help participants use the benchmarking data and the associated Drivers of Effectiveness management framework to identify potential improvements that can propel their programs from good to great.
One-day workshop objectives:
- Learn about the promise that employee volunteering holds for 21st century corporate citizenship
- Discover what it takes to develop and manage a program that generates impact in the community and on the business
- Identify best practices from companies around the globe
- Plan how to take your employee volunteer program to its next level
We are offering this one-day event in two locations on two different dates. Click on the links below for more information, or call Karen O’Malley at 617.552.1553.
