Nonprofit Affinity Group / Volunteer Management Roundtable
The Chamber's Nonprofit Affinity Group gathers the first Thursday of most months to connect with each other and benefit from some professional development. We start at 12:30 with time to network, then have our presenter begin at 1 pm. We welcome you to join us!
This month: Volunteer Management Roundtable!
Limited budgets for nonprofits mean that staff hours can be scarce. So volunteer help can be key in carrying out our missions! But they must be recruited, trained, supervised, kept motivated... it takes work to get help with our work.
We'll pool our wisdom today around volunteer recruitment and management, so bring your issues, questions, resources, stories, etc.
And if you have time, come early and join us at noon for lunch! Cafe Cubano has great food, and we're glad to support them during the season of construction outside!
