“When Volunteer New York! and the Westchester Community Foundation were looking for an experienced partner to work with us on the conception and launch of our pilot Next Generation Nonprofit Board Boot Camp event, we turned to the Leros Meeting Services team.
The perspective and event management tools helped us introduce a record number of business professionals and engaged community leaders to the value of serving on a board. As a result, we were able to double the number of nonprofits and prospects we identified to participate. We would recommend anyone looking to generate a greater ROI and improve their event planning consider Leros.”

When the pandemic hit, we had to evaluate our options to host our gala event on a virtual platform, and there were a lot of issues to consider, from maintaining our donors and sponsors, to the logistics, tech and communication. And when it came time to decide who we would work with in planning and producing an event like this, we turned to our trusted partners at Leros Meeting Services. And the results exceeded our expectations, as the program was polished, totally professional, and, most importantly – we generated the highest net income from an event in our Club’s history. I would highly recommend these partners to anyone looking to develop an event of any kind!
