What is your history with volunteer engagement & leadership?

I have worked in the field of Volunteer Engagement and Leadership in an official capacity for 6 years as a member of the Volunteer Services team at City Harvest, I am presently the Director of the department of a team of 4 other full time staff. On a yearly basis, my department leads about 10,000 volunteers ranging from big groups of corporate volunteers to individual volunteers who help rescue, repack, distribute food and support nutrition education activities. I have also led volunteers as a cyclist for New York Road Runners which was physically a different challenge but the rewards were just the same ;)
