BACVC Member Testimonials“My experience with the BACVC has been nothing short of phenomenal. The quality of the programming combined with the collective expertise in corporate volunteer trends makes the CVC events “must-attend” events in my mind. The Volunteer Center staff does an excellent job of keeping us organized and on-topic, and they secure terrific guest speakers to do deep dives into some of the most recent trends in corporate volunteerism. My colleagues do an excellent job of sharing some of their common frustrations, but always follow-up with recommended solutions." “As leader of a team responsible for developing and implementing a new company volunteer program, we have come to depend on the BACVC for quality programming and expert advice with a variety of our programs. The Volunteer Center staff is always available and does an excellent job of providing solutions to complex issues we face. We’re on our way to having a first-rate Employee Volunteer Program thanks to The Volunteer Center staff and the BACVC.” “The moment I became involved with community outreach on behalf of my company, I contacted the BACVC for mentoring, support and advice. Additionally, when anyone asks for advice about Corporate Volunteer activities, the BACVC is my first recommendation. The BACVC provides a wide range of expertise at the grassroots, local and national levels. The programming, outreach and collective wisdom of the participants and staff provide counsel for every aspect of community outreach and for every corporate volunteer coordinator – just entering the arena or veteran.” “Membership with the BACVC is vital to my work organizing ITA’s volunteer and community service programs. To be able to access best practices from other members has made my experience planning events much easier. Learning what has worked well and where there have been challenges saves me time and increases the success of our events. I would recommend the BACVC to anyone who organizes volunteer activities.”
