“Gretchen is a uniquely positioned thought leader and a catalyst; she brings together other thought leaders to focus on how to enhance, connect and grow the volunteer resources sector, to focus on how to get more Americans involved in Service and Volunteering, to focus on connecting the corporate, non profit and government sectors to enable collaboration and sharing resources to get more Americans engaged in meaningful and impactful volunteering in their communities and beyond their local communities. (A convener, a thought leader, a catalyst, connects resources across sectors to Big Picture volunteer capacity building... Definitely on my "A" list).”
