When are the Meetings?

Meetings of the CVC Sacramento Region are held the third Thursday of each month from noon to 1:30pm. CVC members host meetings at their businesses or at nonprofit agencies throughout the Sacramento Region and provide a “working lunch” to attendees.

What’s on the agenda?

Meetings serve as a networking tool, providing a way for companies to exchange information and obtain assistance regarding employee volunteer programs.  They also provide a forum where member companies can learn about community needs for employee volunteers. At each meeting a nonprofit agency partner is asked to speak to the group regarding a pressing community need or highlighting a program that is in need of volunteers. Speakers are also invited to provide training or professional development opportunities in areas that can enhance employee volunteer programs.
