Advancing Volunteer Management

12 May 2016 9:30am to 2:30pm

Advancing Volunteer Management

The role of the Volunteer Manager continues to morph and change - and generally become more complex, yet how often do we take time out to consider these changes and how best to plan for them.

This session will allow us the time reflect on these changes and to strategise about how we and our organisations must best position ourselves to meet the challenges of engaging a modern day volunteer workforce.

Andy will also walk you through the 18 qualities that he has observed (in more than 30 years in this field), that advanced volunteer managers are able to exhibit. How do you fare?
