Common Good Vermont is delighted to announce Iowa Nonprofit Alliance’s virtual event. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
When done correctly, volunteer engagement is not just a “nice to have” component of your organization, but instead a critical strategy to extend your mission and budget while engaging the community as key stakeholders in your work. Learn how combining strategy, leadership support, and effective training of staff can be a gamechanger for your organization’s volunteer engagement. We’ll discuss what a volunteer can and can’t do, the role of staff, and resources available to enhance your strategy and fund the process.
For Executive Directors and Senior Leadership
