Being new to WA(from Las Vegas) I joined MPI(Meeting Professionals International) and signed on as a
committee volunteer (Hosted buyer/Trade show Chair) for the annual WA/OR
joint annual conference. I can vouch for the points in this article
and encourage people to volunteer for MPI and/or any other cause
(professionally related or otherwise).

It will likely take up less time than you think and bring you more benefits than you imagined.

I approach volunteer work with a desire to give back first, and the professional benefits come in third after the benefit of feeling like I’ve made the world a little better. That being said, volunteering is a great way for me to stay fresh/current in areas that are not a part of my current job, work at something for the sake of doing it (without performance expectations), and take on tasks that I like. My volunteer work has helped show the community that I am serious about getting involved, leading, and making the community better.

Thanks for the post. I am looking into getting back into hospice volunteer work, not for the career benefits, but to actually help people. It does have all of these wonderful benefits too : D. My favorite is meeting people from all walks of life.
