Most companies have built the operational foundation of their employee volunteer leader network. What the data shows is that far fewer have built the systems that make that foundation worth sustaining.

In this RealTalk webinar, Realized Worth’s Angela Parker and Megan Dominguez will walk through findings from the Networked for Impact 2026 Benchmark Study — the first research of its kind to examine the structures, roles, training, tools, and measurement practices behind employee volunteer leader networks at 50 large companies. Whether you’re building your network from scratch or trying to figure out where to invest next, this session will give you a clearer picture of where the field stands — and where the real opportunities are.

You will learn:

• Where most programs actually sit on the maturity continuum — from core infrastructure to full-scale enablement — and what separates basic programs from fully optimized ones
• Why volunteer leaders are being asked to activate rather than lead — and the simple design choices that determine whether your network has a strategic element baked in
• What the “summit signal” means for your program — why companies that hold annual summits are 16× more likely to have formal goal-setting in place, and what that correlation tells us about alignment infrastructure
• The measurement gap that puts programs at risk — what outcome-oriented metrics look like in practice
• The one investment with the highest return — what the data says about onboarding, training, and role clarity, and why this is the clearest opportunity in the field right now
