Through annual membership, members gain access to actionable resources, training, networking, and connections that help them advance their goals and be recognized for their work.

“The incredible folks at Points of Light are my de-facto team. As a team of one, it can often feel daunting or overwhelming to navigate all the great ideas, research, trends, and resources out there to support my work, but Points of Light is always there to help guide me to the most effective resource. Whether it’s thought partnership, connecting me with another Corporate Service Council member, or pointing me to a tried-and-true resource, I know I can always count on my ‘team’ and truly value our Corporate Service Council membership.” — Whitney Kimmel, Vice President of Corporate Citizenship, State Street
