Companies are from Mars....Nonprofits are from Venus

Companies are from Mars… Nonprofits are from Venus

2:00 - 3:00 p.m. EST

Workplace volunteering is a growth industry. Nonprofits are looking for resources to fulfill mission-driven objectives. Why, then, are both sides sometimes frustrated when trying to work together? Are “companies from Mars and nonprofits from Venus?”

This workshop explores the issues that sometimes get in the way of effective cross-sector partnerships: goal differences, management styles, communication and more. Participants will explore ways to soften the boundaries and allow nonprofit and corporate managers of volunteers to better realize the potential to create high-impact and sustainable change in their communities.
