Volunteer Management with Susan Ellis

Don’t assume everyone is on the same page; clarify roles and procedures with long-time and new volunteers.
This 60 minute webinar will focus on thorny issues of performance management in volunteer engagement.

In this session you’ll learn:

  • How to blend new volunteers with long-time volunteers, who may be very different from each other — understanding and balancing their perspectives.
  • How to manage “inherited” volunteers who pre-date you and who want to stick with ways of working that need to be updated.
  • How to differentiate loyal volunteer commitment from the difficulty of “ownership” (even at the board level).
  • To set and enforce boundaries and policies, especially if this has not been done before.
  • The importance of clearly defining who does what and how at the start of a volunteer commitment and as things evolve.

 

Who will benefit?
This webinar is pitched to participants with a good knowledge of the subject and can apply it effectively. It will be useful for those at Management level.

In partnership with The 2016 National Volunteering Conference
