We are excited to let you know that LinkedIn just added a Volunteer Experience & Causes section to the LinkedIn Profile. Members can now share volunteer experiences, causes they care about and organizations they support with their professional networks. That's right, LinkedIn is putting a stake in the ground that volunteerism can and should be a part of everyone's professional brand, See3 thinks this is great and we would love for your organization to join this movement.
When your supporters update their profiles with your organization's information, you'll benefit from 3 valuable opportunities to 1) Make it easy for your supporters to be your evangelists. Once they add their volunteer experiences, their network is notified and it becomes a permanent part of their profile. 2) Make it easy to find your supporters and learn who else they may be connected to. Use the advanced search functionality to find everyone on the network who has ever volunteered with your organization - and get back in touch with them. 3) Get insights into the professional skills and experiences of your supporters. We hope you spread the word about these smart and important changes and update them on your own profiles. Thanks for being a part of the movement to make volunteerism part of the social norm when it comes to being a professional.
