May AL!VE Academy Webinar: Understanding the Challenges Volunteer Administrators Face: Results from a Recent Research Study

Friday, May 6, 2022

May AL!VE Academy Webinar: Understanding the Challenges Volunteer Administrators Face: Results from a
Recent Research Study
Presented by David Thorne, Ed. D.

This session explores a recent study on volunteer administrators in the United States.
Results show differences and similarities across volunteer administration groups.
Participants will learn the top challenges facing volunteer administrators along with
common management practices. Participants will also have an opportunity to reflect and
share the top challenges they’re facing while examining, exploring similarities and
differences across groups. The session will help administrators understand how their
context may influence how they should best lead volunteers.
- Explore the top challenges facing volunteer administrators today.
- Find out what challenges are context specific and what challenges are universal.
- Discover the most applied management practices.
- Learn how “context matters” when applying management practices.
