The Conseil des arts de Montréal is inviting managers, cultural workers, volunteers and board members to attend a presentation by Épisode, philanthropie & investissement communautaire on its most recent study.

About the Presentation

Épisode, a consulting agency specializing in philanthropy, will present the highlights of a brand new study on key issues in philanthropic engagement, with a special focus on women in business volunteering, board parity, charitable appeals and motivations for engagement. Les leaders féminines et la philanthropie : Étude sur le bénévolat d’affaires [Women leaders and philanthropy: A study of business volunteering] is the first study of its kind to be published.

This reference work is available free of charge, in French only, and the Conseil des arts de Montréal is a proud partner. From theory to practice, Épisode’s experts will share their tips and techniques for cultivating business volunteering and developing key resources within your organization. An unfiltered discussion period will close the event.
