CHESTNUT HILL, MA – Is your company’s volunteer program a strategic investment? Is it structured to support employee and business interests as well as the community? In this program from the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, explore the key elements of successful volunteer program planning and emerge with a clear understanding of how such programs are structured to support the business strategy. These elements of success will then be applied with an introduction to a step-by-step program planning model – a model which can be applied across a variety of community involvement programs. Time is allowed for personal consultation with the instructor and sharing program ideas with one another. Highlights include:
