staff-emilygGilliland’s career has focused on education, leadership development and community service.  As executive director of HandsOn Network for the past two years, she was responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of resources to support organizational development, programming, branding and communications within a vast network of volunteer organizations in the United States and around the globe.  Collectively, the network engages 1.8 million volunteers in community service efforts.
