    Serve Illinois Request - Business & Workforce Volunteers

    ​Illinois workNet would like to spread the word of the Illinois 2015 Year of the Volunteer from Serve Illinois.

    Serve Illinois The Illinois 2015 Year of the Volunteer theme for the month of August is Business & Workforce Volunteers. Every year volunteers from large corporations and small businesses contribute time and expertise in their communities, neighborhoods, and statewide. People who are unemployed and underemployed volunteer and find their niche. August is the time to celebrate the many contributions of business and the workforce. You have stories that should be told.

    Special Request: We would like to receive articles, photos, quotes, links to further info, etc. about unique organizational designs that help business people and workforce in general be outstanding volunteers. You may have existing content & photos to repurpose or want to submit something original. We also need information about your annual or special events that are related to Business & Workforce Volunteers to build a yearlong calendar. We are aiming for a deadline of July 31.

    To give you some ideas about what we are looking for, read the most recent Continuance Magazine issue. The next issue of Continuance, Summer/Fall 2015, will highlight our August theme of Business & Workforce Volunteers. The themed sections in the recent Continuance issue on Civic Responsibility (pp 9-17) and Community (pp 22-39) illustrate the format & length variety of articles, quotes, photos & sidebars. 

    If you would like to submit materials, please contact: Peggy Luce at peggy.luce@outlook.com or 847-651-0559.
