About my work:
I am a speaker/consultant/writer on the topic of Corporate Social Responsibility with a particular focus on Employee Volunteer Programs. I have spent the last 18 years working in and with NPO's utilizing a model that elevates volunteerism from a task-oriented experience to a transformative experience. The model is simple to understand and implement. It increases volunteer participation and retention exponentially. The most fascinating outcome is that those volunteers become more invigorated and productive in their respective places of employment.
