Mark your calendars: National Volunteer Week is April 19-25th! It’s the perfect opportunity to start thinking about ways to show your chapter volunteers the appreciation they deserve all year-round. Volunteering is one of the stickiest forms of member engagement, and happy volunteers can keep your association chapters on track for years to come. Given that 20-25% of staff labor in associations come from volunteer members, it’s a worthwhile effort to utilize recognition in creating a supportive environment. Let’s draw from research and our own community for a dynamic discussion on ways to spotlight association volunteers and celebrate volunteering in all aspects!

Given that 20-25% of staff labor in associations come from volunteer members, it’s a worthwhile effort to utilize recognition in creating a supportive environment. Let’s draw from research and our own community for a dynamic discussion on ways to spotlight association volunteers and celebrate volunteering in all aspects! This isn’t a webinar to just sit back and listen. It will feature research and a brainstorming activity, so come ready to work and bring (or send to Peggy Hoffman in advance) your favorite ways to recognize volunteers. Join us and help create a fresh approach to showing more volunteer love in the chapter community!

- Poll What’s in your plan for National Volunteer Week? Gifts for some volunteers Accolades on individual basis Message pushed out Big plans (tell us more in the chat) No plans (yet?)
- At a minimum, 20-25% of the workforce hours in any given year are completed by a worker who is not on your payroll. Volunteers provide direct labor – in some cases highly skilled (leadership, content creation, mentors, etc.), in others additional “hands on help” (registrar, greeter, monitor, etc.). Volunteer hours make up 20-25% of an association’s total work hours (staff plus volunteers). 67 hrs/yr
- Peggy: Poll Do you know about the Volunteer Driver? Yes Heard about it, but that’s all The what? (Guess not)
- THE DRIVERS: Before we get there let’s better understand the volunteer through the ForesightsWorks Drivers Show drivers Show Volunteer driver Deliberate, evidence-based research initiative Facilitate environmental scanning & planning for change Continual stream of intelligence about anticipated trends + tools 6 thematic areas: Content, Learning, and Knowledge Data and Technology Demographics and Membership Economic Conditions Society and Politics Workforce and Workplace
- 21 drivers are about this worker
- And more importantly, their intuition, knowledge and skills are needed to 21 cannot be addressed without the assistance of this workforce
- It affirmed volunteer preferences (short-term, outcome-based opportunities with a pro-social WIIFM) and disappointments (time/timing, flexibility, clear direction, assessment, inclusion). It identified what drives volunteer engagement & therefore satisfaction (6 drivers).
- It highlighted the weaknesses in the system that keep us from getting the highest participation and the right people in the right positions. Namely, job design, selection, assessment.
- It embraces the 60% who prefer jobs that are not annual commitments but meaningful jobs that achieve an outcome completed in near horizon. It puts as much effort into the pool as it does into the board.
- It puts as much effort into the pool as it does into the board. Finding a place for the 58% who want more Almost 8,400 of the 25,000 respondents described themselves as non-volunteers and 58% indicated a desire to be more engaged. If we accept the premise that being “more engaged” would include volunteering, there appears to be a big opportunity to boost an associations production capacity and retention rate. 2008 DTV 2/3 said looking for volunteering that related
- A: RESEARCH: ASAE Foundation research keying on the three findings: Three actions we need to embrace: variety, support, inclusive. Briefly …
- Peggy: Calling for accessible volunteering – a program that includes micro, informal and short-term opps Ad-hoc – Focus: one & done Micro – Size: quick & easy Episodic – Re-occurring, Frequency Speed volunteering Flash volunteering
- Peggy: Poll What’s in your mix? Thinking at the chapter level … Board & Committees Task forces & Ad hoc teams Short-term projects Micro opportunities
