From America's Charities "Giving Under The Influence 2013" YouTube Playlist

There is often a disconnect between the people who run employee giving programs and the people who create and guide the policies for those programs. How do you manage this disconnect and empower employees while mitigating risk? Panelists at the April 2013 America’s Charities #GivingUnderTheInfluence Symposium share their advice.

On April 24, 2013, America’s Charities hosted distinguished experts at the #GivingUnderTheInfluence Symposium, where a dynamic discussion took place about shifting employee expectations and how the digital culture is transforming the traditional workplace giving model into a more engaging experience inside and outside the workplace walls. This video clip is from America’s Charities “Giving Under The Influence 2013” YouTube playlist.
