While featuring national trends and changes in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sponsorship relations, presenting leaders from SHARE Greater Lynchburg and their national platform partner Share Good will illuminate examples across their network of communities where corporate engagement and long-lasting partnerships have been maximized. Whether through assisting with volunteer time off (VTO) benefits or providing recognition and engagement at key events and with aligned programs – nonprofit development leaders can leverage their unique position of community enrichment with like-passioned institutions. Examples will illuminate how a convening partner like a SHARE community organizer can assist with connections to corporate leaders.
