Reflections on Points of Light Service Unites 2018

One of my favorite annual events is Points of Light’s Service Unites.

This year’s event delivered on its promise of incredible speakers and insights on the state of volunteerism, and I am happy to share my reflections on three networking and learning-filled days in Atlanta.
