CONNECTS: How to organize, engage, and provide for volunteers

Time: 11am PT  /  12pm MT  /  1pm CT  /  2pm ET

How do I manage volunteers when I am so busy myself, what should the training address for my site, how do I keep track of their important time? Join in a 90-minute Facilitated Discussion about Volunteer Programs and the challenges and success that make volunteers successful as vital members of our organizations. A recent ANCA Discussion Forum thread has generated many questions from participants searching for resources to better manage a Volunteer Program. Bring your questions, resources, and the challenges you want to discuss.

Topics may include:

• Volunteer Handbooks and Training
• Tracking valuable time of Volunteers
• General management of Volunteers with our own busy schedules
