The preconference includes a volunteer activity packing 10,000 meals with Rise Against Hunger led by Dezarie Mayers, Senior Manager of Corporate Responsibility at Pfizer, Inc. who leverages these opportunities to engage employees and demonstrate tangible impact at Pfizer.

The Summit is led by an advisory council of top social impact leaders, chaired by Michael Carren of Guardian Life Insurance. Preconference and Summit registration before April 30 is discounted $100 with code EARLYBIRD19: https://charitiesatwork.org/
