The tradition of volunteering has a long history in the United States.
At all education and economic levels, Americans give of their time, talent and treasure. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 62.6 million people volunteered through or for an organization at least once between September 2014 and September 2015.
It’s become common for senior executives and their spouses to join nonprofit boards, especially when they retire as a way to continue to use the managerial skills that they’ve honed over the years.
