Happy Volunteer Week!

As a volunteer leader and working closely with many from association clients, I am glad there is a week dedicated to the appreciation of volunteers.

I posted recently about my thoughts on volunteerism but want to dedicate this post to AMG employees who not only work to provide top-notch service to our clients each day, but volunteer their time and resources to charities and philanthropic organizations throughout the year on their own time.
