volunteers to help children and families by addressing pressing issues like
hunger, literacy and education, delivering over $1.3 million in resources to
the community.
Membership
in the BVC provides companies with opportunity for networking, professional
development, community impact, recognition as a good corporate citizen and free
or discounted fees for BVC seminars, events and service activities.
“Now is a great time for companies to join the
BVC,” says Amanda Missey, BVC Manager.
“BVC member companies will have free access to nationally-recognized
leaders in the realm of corporate social responsibility. Their employees will have more opportunities
