63rd Annual IFEA Convention, Expo & Retreat

Finding and keeping great volunteers is no easy task. The goal of this session is to bring together coordinators who are willing to share their experiences (good and bad), best practices and the key resources they use to keep their volunteers happy, engaged and informed. Topics include fostering the right 'culture' for your volunteer force, identifying appropriate channels to reward volunteers, and making the process of scheduling and communicating with your volunteers easier. We'll look at some recent data behind volunteer trends, and cover the practical implementation of a cohesive volunteer program that aligns the right incentives with volunteers' interests and skills. Join us for a lively discussion on best practices for volunteer management, coordination, and retention.
