How to Save Money and Get More Done Using High-Level Volunteers

Tuesday, April 6, 2010 from 9:00 am to Noon

Instructor: Kelly Kleiman, Principal, NFP Consulting

This workshop will help nonprofit agencies discover how to make the most of high-skill volunteers: those lawyers, public relations specialists, accountants, and other professionals who are increasingly interested in donating their expertise. We’ll explore how to identify major projects; how to integrate volunteers into those projects; how to smooth relations between staff and volunteers; how to make staff more effective at deploying and supervising their unpaid counterparts; when to consider volunteers for leadership positions (including the board); and how to keep volunteers motivated (using “The Big MAC” approach) so you can truly rely on them. This program is geared toward executive directors, program directors, and volunteer managers, as well as any other staff or board member charged with overseeing volunteers. All attendees will take home a fresh perspective on the potential for volunteer contributions, as well as concrete ideas about how to attract, train, and retain the very best help.
