Every now and again I'll get a question about the role that CharityChannel is playing in the VRM Roundtable project. I don't mind the question, but it does get a little tiring to keep repeating my response. So maybe if I just post it to my blog, I can send folks here and save us all some time! In a nutshell, CharityChannel is a major corporate sponsor of the VRM Roundtable. To date, CharityChannel has contributed in excess of $100,000 in technological support and professional advice and assistance. More importantly, the CharityChannel professional community, which has a very large professional body of volunteer resources managers in its ranks, has come together with colleagues from many other affiliations to create a new, independent, professional association that we can all be proud of. You really can't measure that kind of can-do and hands-on "just make it happen" spirit and energy; if you could, it would dwarf the financial resources that have been contributed. The VRM Roundtable project is fully independent of CharityChannel. It is governed by a Leadership Team, the members of which were selected from each of the Task Force teams. I personally serve on the Leadership Team at its pleasure, as a volunteer. I do not have a vote. I am very glad to see the wonderful progress being made by the VRM Roundtable project, and am fully committed to helping in any way I can. It will be wonderful to see the new assocation open its doors and begin serving US volunteer resources managers.

Re: What is CharityChannel's Role in the VRM Roundtable Project? This really helps clarify things, Stephen. I had no idea that CharityChannel was our first major corporate sponsor. You really shouldn't have been so shy about letting us know! THANK YOU for helping us all to contribute to the creation of the new association!
