The Annual Celebration Committee’s primary purpose is to honor corporate members with CVC-TC’s Game Changer Award while highlighting current trends and topics of interest within the field of corporate volunteerism. The Annual Celebration Committee organizes the submission and judging of award nominees, crafts a relevant program agenda, secures event sponsors and coordinates event logistics. Plan on 2-3 hours each month which includes virtual meetings, possible individual work, and optional onsite opportunities to visit venues. Hours increase the closer to the event. If you are interested in learning more or joining our group, please contact Julie Greene at [email protected].

Connected for Change - Marketing Day Nonprofit Recruitment

HandsOn Twin Cities Connected for Change series brings together a community of collaborators to build capacity for nonprofits through a one-day event focused on a specific functional area. Our upcoming Connected for Change Day is Marketing Day. Marketing Day is an opportunity for you to get expert advice on marketing related challenges from pro bono consultants. As you know, many nonprofits are unable to staff roles in all foundational functional areas and greatly benefit from being able to consult with trained professionals. To see past projects covered and the impact from our last Connected for Change Marketing Day, view our impact report here. Some common projects include – Social Media Strategy, Tagline Development, Brand identity work, company mission statement creation etc.
