Realized Worth co-founders Chris Jarvis and Angela Parker are pleased to announce their facilitation of three sessions at bbcon 2016 this October! These sessions will focus on the science behind why volunteering works, and will include advice for achieving the practical execution of successful employee volunteer programs. We have high hopes that the information we provide will be relevant, useful, and – of course – entertaining. If you’re planning to be there, but can’t join our session, please send us a note. We’d love to get together for a coffee or catch up in the hallways!
