In this Keyboard Roundtable, we’re casting a wide net to explore a number of issues in volunteerism from the diverse perspectives of people involved in volunteering.  “From Whose Perspective?” includes a discussion of such important issues as:

• Employer-supported volunteering: Is it volunteering if people are paid to volunteer with time off from work? From whose perspective?
• Pro bono service: Is this volunteering?  From whose perspective?
• Do we draw the line on rewards/incentives in volunteering? From whose perspective?

We’ve engaged a few corporate and community sector volunteer managers, a public sector volunteer manager and a volunteer to help us gain multiple perspectives.
