Charities@Work 2018 Summit in NYC

 Registration is now open for the 18th Annual Charities@Work Employee Engagement Summit on June 12-13, 2019, in New York City. This two-day peer-to-peer event brings together corporate citizenship and employee engagement professionals to learn and network, share promising practices, discuss the latest trends, and create greater social impact together.

“The Charities@Work Summit offers something that CSR professionals cannot find at any other gathering focused on CSR: the ability to connect the issues our companies face with practical, applicable solutions that will make a difference in supporting employees, brand and most importantly culture,” said Michael S. Carren, summit chair and head of corporate social responsibility at The Guardian Life Insurance Company. “Whether you are new to the field or a seasoned professional, Charities@Work gives you the opportunity to interact with and learn from other leaders in the field. I am proud to have been affiliated with this event for over a decade and have taken so much of what I have learned through the conference back to my professional practice with great results.”

Through interactive sessions and breakouts, the summit provides a forum for learning and effective practice exchange to engage the most pressing challenges facing today’s CSR professionals.

The 2019 Advisory Council include:

  • Tiffany Calderon, Senior Manager at Best Buy

  • Michael Carren, Vice President and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at The Guardian Life Insurance Company (Chair)

  • Erin Gollhofer, Global CSR Consultant at Kimberly-Clark Corporation

  • Dezarie Mayers, Senior Manager, Corporate Responsibility at Pfizer
