Volunteers are the engine that powers DMAW and in this season of gratitude, we give a heartfelt thanks to all of you who volunteer your time, expertise, office/meeting room space, and so much more!

I enjoy co-chairing the Volunteer Committee because I get to interact with so many from our industry – from company founders embarking on their next journey to rising leaders and the next generation of voices. Working here, side-by-side with people like you, in the social impact space, I’m surrounded and buoyed by optimism. Our sector is filled with people who work tirelessly to make the world a better place and full-heartedly believe that change can happen; and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

DMAW is proud to support a network of professionals who represent some of the nation’s largest nonprofits, political organizations, agencies, and associations. We are committed to providing premier education, valuable connections, and professional development opportunities and we wouldn’t be able to do any of it without the dedication of our tireless volunteers!

So thanks to you, DMAW members, subscribers, dear readers, for chipping in and helping make our community what it is – we couldn’t do it without you! No matter how tough the times may feel, please remember that your work, the hope and connection you bring, has never been more important.

And if you’d like to get involved, we’d love to have you! Just fill out this survey and we’ll be in touch. From joining a committee, helping plan and run events, to creating content and writing emails or blog posts (like this!) there’s something for everyone.
