[Cpcommunicator] Volunteers needed 3/16 for Resources for Changing Times at Harris CC
>From Lori Alexander
The Resources for Changing Times event at the Harris Conference Center
has been rescheduled for Monday, March 16! The purpose of the event is
to assist professionals in Mecklenburg County who have recently lost
their jobs or are in danger of losing their jobs due to downsizing.
Community, College and employer resources will be on hand to answer
questions and provide resources to help with job searches, life coping
and new opportunities for personal and professional growth. In addition,
workshops will be offered throughout the day.
Originally set for March 2, the event was canceled due to inclement
weather. Over 400 people had registered for the event.
We are planning for maximum capacity and need more volunteers.
Three, 3.5-hour volunteer shift options are available to choose from:
8-11:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m. and 3-6:30 p.m. Please try to carve time
out of your busy schedule to assist with this important event and help
position CPCC as a valuable community resource to those in need.
By registering in LearnerWeb, you can receive volunteer credit. Awarding
volunteer credit is something relatively new at the College. According
to Debbie Bouton, we now categorize College-sponsored development
opportunities as either professional, personal, or volunteer. There are
certain activities that do not fall within the guidelines for
professional development, but are still important for personal
enrichment or for service to the College or the community. If you would
like to receive volunteer credit for your efforts, please register in
LearnerWeb.
We have all heard about the recent spending restrictions regarding
travel. Because this falls into the category of "involving an employees'
routine job requirements within the College's service area," you will be
reimbursed for mileage if you are travelling between campuses.
Please call or email Lori Alexander if you have any questions. Thank
you.
