Leading For Change

how professionals can help the triangle rise to #1 in the nation in service






Keynote Speaker

AMBER SMITH
 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, ACTIVATE GOOD


  • Have you ever wanted to get involved, but been unsure how?

  • Do you want to be a part of the Triangle’s growth? 

  • Learn how to get involved and why it’s important for leaders like you to volunteer your time and talent in our local communities.

Did you know? The Triangle ranks 37th out of 51 similarly sized metros in volunteerism. With just 1 in 4 people in our community volunteering each year, area causes are missing out on the valuable time and talents of locals who can make a big impact on the issues they tackle, from poverty, to education, to the environment. Amber will talk about the tremendous need for volunteers faced by our community, ways businesses and professionals can empower those in their network to get involved, and what locals can do NOW to get started.The positive impact volunteerism makes not only in our communities but within ourselves; becoming part of the change that’s happening in the Triangle. 

REGISTER NOW!
