Community Service Fair for Nonprofits

The Broome Leadership Institute (BLI) Alumni Association, RSVP, Southern Tier Young Professionals, United Way of Broome County, and our newest partners – Binghamton University College of Community & Public Affairs and BU’s Department of Human Development – have joined forces to help our local non-profits connect with potential volunteers and board members in our community.

Local non-profit organizations are invited to participate in our 3rd Annual Community Service Fair on Thursday, November 4, 2010 from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. (with set up around 3:00 p.m.) at the Binghamton University Downtown Center, 67 Washington Street, Binghamton. There is no cost to exhibit. Each non-profit will receive one table, two chairs and be listed in our on-site packet.

The Community Service Fair is designed to provide a ‘one stop shop’ where people in our community can be exposed to different non-profits in our area and find one or more volunteer opportunities that best fit their interests and their schedule.

NEW THIS YEAR: Binghamton University students in the MSW, MPA, MSA and HDEV programs are looking to connect with local non-profits as part of their degree programs – so this is a great opportunity for student involvement!

For more information or to sign up, contact Amy Shaw at (607) 772-8863 x 313 or ashaw@greaterbinghamtonchamber.com.

Event on November 5th Seeks to Link Business Professionals with Non-Profits

News Channel 34 reported on the following event from the Vice President, Member Services at the Greater Binghamton Chamber of Commerce:

One of the best ways for companies to get more involved in our community is to encourage their employees to volunteer their time and talents for a local non-profit organization. Maybe they have a passion for a particular group or topic - like the arts, healthcare or our youth; or maybe they have a particular area of expertise that they would like to share with these non-profits.

There is an upcoming event that can help professionals explore the possibilities...We invite our local business professionals to attend our 2nd Annual Community Service Fair on Thursday, November 5, 2009 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Johnson City Senior Center at 30 Brocton Ave in Johnson City.

Sponsored by the Broome Leadership Institute (BLI) Alumni Association, in partnership with The United Way of Broome County, Southern Tier Young Professionals (STYP) and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), this free event will bring together sixty (60) local non-profit charitable agencies looking for high-level volunteers, including attorneys, business executives, CPAs, new employees that have recently moved to our area, or anyone willing to make a commitment to give back to our community.

In addition, Southern Tier Young Professionals (STYP) is organizing a social mixer for both attendees and non-profit organizations following the Community Service Fair. Join us at Ground Round at 214 Reynolds Road in Johnson City for a casual get-together and networking opportunity from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 5, 2009. The first 50 people that attend the Fair will receive a complimentary drink ticket for the mixer. Drink specials and appetizers can be purchased individually in their private dining area reserved for our group.

So plan on leaving work a little early on November 5th, stop by the Community Service Fair for a few minutes to explore the many diverse volunteering opportunities currently available in our area, and end your night with networking at the Ground Round. Click here for the participating nonprofits.
