Center
also encourages the volunteer support of working professionals, who advise and
support staff in business management, marketing, development, and event
planning, and support to participate in boards, committees, and advisory
groups.
The Center also welcomes groups of volunteers from corporations, civic groups,
and other sources. Advance planning is necessary for us to take full advantage
of group volunteers and we request that you contact us well in advance if a
group wishes to contribute their time and effort to the Center.
