The OR Society's Volunteer Celebration 2018

The OR Society's Volunteer Celebration 2018  Where: IET, London When: Tuesday 12th June 2018 Time: 18:00-20:00 We invite you to join our 2018 ORS Volunteer Celebration, an event where we're taking the time to say thank you for your continued effort and collaboration for The OR Society. Pro Bono OR and OR in Schools are two arms of the OR Society that have continued to grow and reach even more people this year - and that has only been possible due to your help and support. The UK’s national volunteer week (a dedicated week celebrating all the wonderful things volunteers do) is fast approaching, and we're getting into the spirit, carrying on celebrations into the weeks ahead. The voluntary sector contributes £12.2bn to the UK economy, with 41% of the population volunteering at least once a year. Humbled at the thought of contributing to these outstanding stats, we are delighted to have Emma Thomas-Hancock, Director of Volunteer Operations at Volunteering Matters, come and share with us more of these figures. We will also hear some first-hand accounts from our ORS volunteers about the roles they have taken on and how our strategic projects have been mutually beneficial. The evening will provide networking opportunities and light refreshments. To help us celebrate success and find out more information about ORS opportunities, please sign up for free on eventbrite. We hope to see you there!
