Presented by Jed Fiato, Regional Preparedness Liaison, Fors Marsh Group
Session Description:
Recruiting quality volunteers is a tricky business; it can be very difficult to draw and attract the perfect volunteer for your project. Consequently, recruitment is only half of the equation. Once you recruit volunteers, you have to figure out a way to keep them and engage them productively. This all becomes even more complicated when you consider the complexity of recruiting and retaining volunteers across generations. In this dynamic workshop, Jed will guide you through all of the generational mazes of volunteer recruitment and retention; providing valuable information about each generation and handing you the tools to better engage with them.
Session Goals:
By the end of this session, participants will have learned how to:
- understand generational complexities
- increase volunteer recruitment
- engage and retain volunteers
- become a more effective volunteer manager
