The first Volunteer Engagement Committee meeting was held on Thursday, February 16, 2017. Kristin Goff, board member, is the chair of this committee.  There were over fifteen members present for our inaugural meeting, with a great cross-representation of corporate partners, organizations and community volunteers.  The initial meeting was spent learning about each committee member and why volunteerism is important to them and the value that volunteer engagement can bring to Spokane County United Way and our community. We also covered how volunteer engagement supports Vision 2020, high level volunteer engagement strategies and committee goals and next steps.

The Volunteer Engagement Committee will reconvene in March and plans to meet on a monthly basis.

For more information please contact Board Member Kristin Goff or Sally Pritchard, VP, Community Impact.

The purpose of this assessment was to meet UWW requirements, get perspective on best practices, gain some sense of where we stand and provide a base to aid in discussions and actions to increase our impact.

The assessment was divided into three parts: 1) Organizational Leadership 2) Operations and Governance 3) Business Model (Impact).  Twenty-nine people completed the assessment.
