Calling All Executive Network Volunteers!

During these times of uncertainty, we can always rely on our Executive Network members to step-in with their expertise and skills that can help our community, including small businesses and non-profits.

Jeff Black, Partner at McDermott + Bull and a well-known connector in the non-profit community, has connected the EN with a local non-profit, OneOC, who has requested volunteers for their EVC volunteering opportunities.

OneOC is coordinating efforts to recruit and manage Spontaneous “Nonaffiliated” Volunteers in response to this disaster. Through the activation of the Emergency Volunteer Center (EVC), they are now PRE-REGISTERING Skills-Based Volunteers (which are volunteers who have already had training and or experience in these areas) and will be connecting them to future disaster-recovery projects and or needs…if/when requested by nonprofits and county agencies.
