TSA CONNECT 2024: Volunteering

For our next session of TSA CONNECT, we’re so excited to be bringing back one of our favourite topics: volunteering! Come join us for a night of networking and relationship building as our Featured Guests share their stories and advice as active volunteers in our community: from what motivates them to volunteer to how they balance their work, family, and volunteering obligations. Our Featured Guests represent a wide variety of volunteer roles and organisations working to make our industry and city better for all, from non-profits to advocacy groups, regulators to municipal committees.

So come out and meet some of the amazing volunteers making a difference in our community and to learn more about how you can get involved!
