A Team on Board With Volunteering

Recently, Charlie completed his six-year stint as a board member with Explore & More Children’s Museum. During that time, he was a part of a unique and transformative nonprofit organization and one of the most exciting projects in the area: the reimagination of a tiny museum in East Aurora into a leading cultural attraction in the heart of downtown Buffalo’s Canalside.

Prior to that, he helped lead the Advertising Club of Buffalo (now known as AAF Buffalo) as a board member and president for three years. In that capacity, Charlie worked with numerous professionals – locally and beyond – to help connect and inspire best practices among those working in WNY’s marketing and advertising industry.

Today we congratulate Charlie for his near-decade-long commitment to service. From a business perspective, we are tremendously grateful that Charlie has served in those roles as it has helped him bring invaluable insights to our team and operations.

Three Cheers for Team Effort

We proudly celebrate a mantra of “Work with purpose”: It explains our commitment to finding value in our days, in our relationships, in our products and services, and in our community. It’s feeling the reward of our hard work and determination and knowing that we’re working toward something bigger than just one individual.

We are proud to employ many board and committee members, fundraisers, event planners, volunteers, and even Big Brothers and Big Sisters among us. These affiliations and experiences are cultivating a more diverse and selfless group of people, which we know will only make our work and our relationships even better.

We will forever support our teammates’ efforts of service and commitment, and we encourage you to search for the opportunity to offer your talents, passion, and support to a larger cause.

For those specifically considering board service, reference Charlie’s recent LinkedIn post where he reflects back on his experiences and offers some great perspectives on serving as a board or committee member.

In the end, no matter the organization or avenue, it’s in the giving that you receive. And by extension, we all benefit.
