VolunteerMatch, the Web's most popular volunteering network and a leading resource for companies, schools, and brands engaging volunteers, will present its annual summit for clients on April 29, 2010, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"Bet on Volunteering," hosted and organized by VolunteerMatch Solutions and sponsored by MGM MIRAGE™, will bring together experts and practitioners from VolunteerMatch's community of clients to share their success, network with peers, and learn how leaders in volunteering and CSR are innovating in the field.

This year's keynote address, "Volunteers in the Value Chain," will be delivered by Professor Jane Nelson, Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution and Director of the Corporate Social Responsibility Institute at Harvard Kennedy School of Government. Among the questions Dr. Nelson will explore: How can employees, through service, extend the value chain? How can corporations link their core businesses to Corporate Social Responsibility through engagement, international program branding and metrics?

In addition to seminars, workshops, and a reception, the event will also include the presentation of VolunteerMatch's annual Champion of the Year and Corporate Volunteer Program of the Year awards. Previous winners include Exelon Corp., Morgan Stanley, and LexisNexis.

In addition to hosting the summit, MGM MIRAGE™, a current VolunteerMatch partner, will be represented by members of its MGM MIRAGE™ Voice Foundation team. The Voice Foundation enables more than 60,000 employees to serve their communities. Through charitable contributions and volunteerism, Voice engages employees' resources and talents to address community issues and change lives.
