Trish Tierney, WAKE: Women's Alliance for Knowledge Exchange
We’re seeing an exciting trend: leaders across industries are recognizing the potential, and the need, to create volunteer opportunities for their employees, driving recruitment and engagement goals. Employees want to use their tech and professional skills for maximum impact, have an opportunity to grow as leaders, to be inspired, and to contribute to their community, whether local or global. This panel will explore the importance and potential impact of tech volunteerism from (a) non-profit and civic leaders designing opportunities for tech volunteers, (b) the corporate perspective sharing stories about why this type of activism makes good business sense, (c) corporate volunteers will share stories of their volunteer experience and how it influences them professionally and personally. We want to hear your stories, too, and match your passion and skills to opportunities for changing the world!
