Too often people are guilty of the 'if it doesn't cost big $$ it isn't real development' mentality. Another idea is to connect interested executives and other qualified staff to a growing list of charities, and non-profit organisations that run professional volunteer programs. These offer a way for staff to share their existing skills in service of a good cause, while also developing additional skills through taking part in some rather unique experiences.
