Employees entering the workforce today are wanting to give back to their community more than ever before, and 97% of them look to their employer to provide them with engaging opportunities. It's a trend that neither businesses nor non-profits can afford to ignore.
This year's Philanthropy Summit focuses specifically on corporate volunteerism and skill-based volunteering in the Michiana community.For the third straight year, Make a Difference Michiana will gather together both the for-profit and non-profit sectors of Michiana for a time of networking, building new collaborations, and learning about new trends in corporate philanthropy. Come join us for this community-wide conversation on making a difference in Michiana!
Local non-profit organizations will be present to represent their organization and converse with luncheon attendees. This is an opportunity to network, learn about volunteer opportunities and donation needs, and build new partnerships. Come meet some of the 275+ agencies that Make a Difference Michiana brings together on their website.
Our guest speaker is Laura Eilts, the Community Involvement Leader from Deloitte. Laura will be speaking about engaging and energizing employees through skill-based volunteering opportunities. This comes on the heels of Deloitte's 2007 Volunteer IMPACT Study that revealed rising expectations among young workers for their employer's community engagement opportunities. Laura will talk about Deloitte's success as a national leader in engaging their employees and partnering with organizations like Junior League, United Way, and Chicago Public Schools.
New this year, Make a Difference Michiana will host a forum on trends in corporate giving and volunteerism happening right here in Michiana. Hear community business leaders share their perspective on philanthropy and answer audience questions. This interactive discussion is free to all summit luncheon attendees and will be insightful for professionals in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors. Panel participants include representatives from Gibson Insurance Group, Teachers Credit Union, Crowe Chizek, and Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center.
