@RAFFALearning presents: Build Capacity with Dynamic Volunteer Engagement

Wednesday, October 31st 12:00-2:00pm
 
Move your engagement of volunteers up a notch – by engaging leaders and skilled volunteers to save money, make money and get the job done.  Tap more volunteers in such areas as finance, IT, marketing, graphic & web design, events planning and many other areas. See how, with the right level of support and vetting, volunteers can take on key leadership roles - even serving as part-time program managers.  Discover what motivates the new breed of volunteer to give their time and money. Findings from a recent Volunteer Engagement Stars report showcases nonprofits that leverage stakeholders in new and innovative ways.
 
Areas covered include:
·    Challenges faced by nonprofits in this economy and role volunteers can play

·    Understanding why nonprofit staff are resistant - especially to leader volunteers
·    Success stories from local nonprofits where volunteers bring an impressive return on investment.
·    Interchangeable nature of nonprofit stakeholders: Today’s volunteer is tomorrow’s donor.
