Involving volunteers in a variety of tasks so that they work with a variety of staff members not only makes volunteers essential to an organization; it also shows that organization welcomes the public to participate in its activities, to observe, to comment, even to criticize. It also creates financial donors; volunteers are much more likely to become financial contributors if they see the excellent work of an organization firsthand and feel a part of it. Otherwise, volunteers are "nice" but not really "necessary".

Wednesday, October 27th, noon to 1:30 p.m.

An interactive session covering practical, user-friendly ideas for those who are responsible for hiring or have some involvement in their organization's hiring process.
