Mission Statement

The purpose of the sub-committee is to use the talents and abilities of our membership to encourage and foster charitable efforts and community service designed to benefit the community at large in the greater Philadelphia area with a focus on a "hands on, boots on the ground" approach.

The sub-committee will endeavor to hold a monthly collection for a designated charitable organization at the ten (10) monthly Lunch-n-Learn CLE's sponsored by the Workers' Compensation Section. In addition, a charity organization will be selected for the April Awards Luncheon and December Holiday Party.

The sub-committee will coordinate a minimum of three (3) community service events or volunteering opportunities for participation by the members hip of the Workers' Compensation Section during each calendar year.
