The Care
& Feeding of Volunteers
|
|
The Care & Feeding of
Volunteers has evolved from a series of successful seminars and on-site
trainings conducted in over 100 locations across the United States and into
Europe. In this book, Bill will present unorthodox ways of working with
volunteers. It will attempt to change the paradigm of how America thinks about
managing volunteers. In The Care & Feeding of Volunteers, Bill challenges
you to consider applying many of the leadership strategies that are working in
corporate America to your non-profit place. This publication suggests, in an
out-of-the box way, that we should not be recruiting volunteers in a 1970
fashion. It's a new millennium and tomorrow's volunteers will not respond to
yesterdays management thinking, but will be looking for an agency that respects
their energy, passion and talents. ISBN 1-928794-10-6 $20.00 Click
