Session: Building Impact into Organizational Structure

In this session, Salesforce Partners and MVPs, Tim Lockie and Joni Bryan will be discussing lessons learned in building a company for a cause. We'll cover how to built a mission-driven company, giving-back practices within corporate culture, leveraging the community to skill up your staff while contributing to the greater good, and some of the things we think corporations can learn from nonprofits. We'll have an open discussion around the do's and don't's of helping nonprofits with VTO with special guests from RefugeeForce, and building a career that changes the world around us.
