caution!Please don't Volunteer

Your personal brand depends on it

Volunteers are fabulous people; they give time and energy to a task, for no pay often in an area where they have no expertise. Without a doubt, volunteers are needed, and should be admired and celebrated. Expectations on volunteers can be limited, and performance does not equate to professional ability.

We have all heard, and maybe even said: “We are JUST volunteers.” What does that really mean? Don’t count on me, I will get to it, I will fit it in when it is convenient.

Professional associations require something more than people to ‘fit it in.’ How do you get people to show up and commit to consciously contribute to the growth and sustainability of your association? Well, you make it about them.

In an interactive presentation, Suzanne will provide your volunteers in your organization or association with eight-step preparation guide of how to make the most of volunteering. This will highlight what is the best opportunity for them to contribute where they will be committed to the project’s success.
