When Merely Liking Gets You a Licking: Effective
Recognition in the 2020s.
In a permanent state of limited budgets and limited time, it is imperative that Volunteer Leaders deliver effective recognition – what is wanted, in a state that is wanted, and in words that touch the heart rather than fall straight to the floor. Together, we will talk about how to cut through the clutter, how to tweak the typical to stir the soul, and to how make those around us feel more seen – and more appreciated. Join us as we leave the lazy world of likes for a new environment you and those around you will love.

Managing Challenging Volunteer Situations
Dealing with difficult or uncomfortable volunteer situations can leave leaders of volunteers feeling uncertain. In this interactive session, we’ll examine common factors that can lead to issues in volunteer engagement, effective methods for preventing many of those situations from developing and practical tools for addressing them when they do occur. If you've encountered awkward or difficult volunteer situations, don't miss this opportunity to add some new tools to your toolbox.
Advocating for Support for Volunteer Engagement: Insights from New National Research
New, groundbreaking research has illuminated the significantly increasing demand for nonprofit programs and services, and the substantial benefits volunteers can provide in filling those needs. Yet, nonprofit executives report their organizations are challenged to find the volunteers they need. At the same time, while funders see significant potential for volunteer involvement, they have many questions about whether volunteers can truly deliver the impact desired. What does all of this mean for the profession? We’ll explore key learnings from the research and provide actionable steps volunteer engagement professionals can take to effectively make the case for investments in volunteer engagement.
