AL!VE Academy Partner Webinar: Finding the right questions to get the right answers for recruiting volunteers! Presented by VSys One Volunteer leadership is a challenging and rewarding career field. Until you are in the role, you cannot completely comprehend what it is, and your role continually changes. Volunteer leaders are both a mystery and a phenomenon. Navigating the role and the “loose expectations” is often left up to you, the volunteer leader. You are often allowed to define your role and expected to produce proof you are succeeding. If we don’t ask the right questions, we will never get the right answers. This very brief “tour of the volunteer process” seeks to ask if you can communicate to your community the true impact your volunteers provide. This is an opportunity to look beyond the age-old questions typically asked of volunteer leaders: ï‚· How many volunteers did you have last year? ï‚· And how many hours did they serve? Volunteering is about people, the mission and impact this partnership has on a community. Volunteer leaders should be able to tell the story. Discover how you can tell your success story and be able to impact real decision-making in your organization! About the presenter: Jacquie Karr-Zlotnicki, B.A. Solutions Specialist VSys One by Bespoke Software Sharing my passion for volunteerism, I help organizations and volunteer resource leaders with seamless technology tools to start, manage, evaluate and grow your unique volunteer program’s success. With 14 years of service as a Volunteer Services Director and proficiency in streamlining processes, I can help you tell the story of how volunteers impact your organization and community. A University of Michigan graduate, with 30 years of experience in both non-profit and global for-profit business sectors, it is a privilege to help empower you to exceed your goals regardless of your industry, size and geography. more info...
