CVC Headlines...About the Corporate Volunteerism Council - Twin CitiesThe Corporate Volunteerism Council - Twin Cities (CVC) is a professional organization consisting primarily of corporate members and also includes associate nonprofit members - all of which promote volunteerism throughout the community. CVC advocates, supports, and grows workplace volunteerism to improve our community. 2008: A Year to Connect the Thoughts
Our board of directors recently met for an afternoon to discuss the role of the CVC in the Twin Cities. With economic conditions applying pressure on individuals and communities, we believe it’s more important than ever to provide volunteer resources and tools to our members—many of whom are juggling responsibilities and are often one-person “teams” at their companies. We want the Twin Cities CVC to be the place for busy professionals to gain support and tools to effectively lead their corporate volunteer programs—and we want to help companies work together to improve the communities where we live and work. In that spirit, we are excited for our “Show and Tell” program coming up on May 20th, hosted by Ecolab. This is an opportunity for Twin Cities businesses to gather, roll up our sleeves, and share best practices for engaging employees in community service. We firmly believe that the expertise represented by our member businesses is the best in the nation. Our members operate some of the most successful community involvement programs in the world, from Target, Best Buy, and 3M to a host of law firms, financial companies, medical providers, and manufacturing businesses. Truly, we are an organization made up of the best and the brightest. If your business is not already a member of CVC-TC, please join us. We have a variety of membership options crafted to meet business needs. As members, you will have access to a network of experienced professionals who can help answer your questions, from the best way to structure an employee volunteer council to engaging in-office volunteer project ideas. Volunteerism is crucial in today’s world. The Corporate Volunteerism Council is ready to help each of our members lead the way. I am honored and humbled to be president of CVC-TC for 2008, and I look forward to helping our board deliver exciting new resources to our members. THANK YOU. Sincerely, |
