In support of our community of volunteer leaders during these challenging times, Volunteer Fairfax is offering a series of FREE volunteer management educational opportunities.
Managing Up for Volunteer Managers
Whether or not you are officially the boss of anyone or even if you have the word “manager” in your title, chances are that as the leader of volunteers at an organization, you are managing people, projects, or both! At this workshop, we will consider your roles as a leader to your volunteers and your other voices needed in the management of the entire organization. We will talk about determining what volunteers really want and what your boss really wants … and how to adjust your work practices whether managing up or down.
Building Ambassador Skills: Teaching Your Volunteers the Elevator Speech
When your volunteers are out in the community – whether on-duty or not -- are they ready, willing, and able to “sell” your organization and volunteer opportunities to anyone they meet? Give them the script and skills to make them the best ambassadors for your organization. Each webinar attendee will get an elevator speech builder template to share with your volunteers.
Taking A Gamble: The Benefits of Failure in Volunteer Management
As volunteer directors, managers, or coordinators, we may have opportunities for success and failure. Everyone can learn from success, right? But, just imagine taking the opportunities to learn from failure, too? Join us to exchange ideas and share experiences about turning your thinking upside down and see the benefits of taking chances. We will also leave time for discussion, problem-solving, and networking.
Dail-in information will be provided prior to the webinar. If you have any questions about Volunteer Fairfax’s educational opportunities, just ask! Contact Susan Sanow.
