Value of sitting on proposal review panels?

I’m an R&D scientist in a small biotech company. My boss asked if I was interested in sitting on grant review panels, and I’m not quite sure. Is it worth it as an industry scientist to sit on proposal review panels? Will this be perceived positively in terms of professional development? For me, it just seems like I’m losing a few days work to sit on a committee that doesn’t directly benefit me or my company. Thoughts?
