(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) - Connecting your corporate giving program with your employee volunteer program can be a powerful way to energize and dramatically supercharging your overall CSR initiative.

Join VolunteerMatch on Thursday, October 8, for an encore presentation of our recent Best Practice training calls about launching, managing and trouble-shooting Dollars for Doers programs. In addition to having several national leaders on Dollars for Doers implementation and management on the call to talk about their experience, the live Web event will also feature a full Q&A session with our speakers about their unique programs.

Are a CSR or employee volunteer program consultant looking to get an advanced understanding of tomorrow trends today?
