Volunteers in urban Forestry: Treasure or TroubleLee Mueller
For many cities, volunteers have become an increasingly critical part of urban forestry programs. However, whether you are engaging volunteers as part of your community outreach strategy or to help plant trees, volunteers can require significant amounts of time and resources to manage resources that are not always available. Luckily, if assigned the right projects and provided the right leadership, volunteers can add significant value to your forestry programs. This presentation will provide an overview of the value volunteers can provide, choosing effective volunteer projects, and recruiting volunteers. Specific attention will be given to volunteer training needs, efficient communication, and methods of identifying leaders. Participants can be expected to walk away with an understanding of how to appeal to volunteer leaders, the challenges to volunteer approaches, and
unique ways to keep volunteers engaged and supporting your community's work.

Improving Donor Retention: How Creative Thank You’s and Cultivating an Attitu...4Good.org
Simply put: Donor retention is your most important fundraising opportunity.
Most nonprofits are leaking donors like crazy. They acquire; they don’t retain. On average folks lose 7 out of 10 donors after the first gift. Why? If your answer to any of the following is “true”, this webinar will help you: (1) I spend more time and resources acquiring donors than thanking them; (2) I treat acknowledgement as an afterthought; (3) I don’t think donors care that much about when and how they’re thanked after they give.
While donors want to change the world with their gifts, most want something else too. It’s intangible, but it’s important. And if you won’t give it to them, someone else will. The important social acknowledgement and identity reinforcement that comes from a heartfelt, thoughtful thank you cannot be underestimated. Truly, how and when you thank your donors can make or break your entire fundraising program.
A great thank you program can increase the lifetime value of your donor base by 200%!
It’s not hard to do, but most of us simply don’t put much zip into our donor acknowledgment programs. If this sounds like you and your nonprofit, it’s time to show your awesome donors some awesome you!

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

31. This is a sample announcement that can be used in your services. It introduces the initiative to your
congregation and explains the interest card.
A few years ago, my wife and I decided that we needed to do a better job of saving money for
retirement. So we made the decision to save a little bit more each and every month. We were
excited, passionate and even determined to do better. But you know what? A funny thing
happened. We got to the end of the month, and somehow, we were out of money. Crazy how
that works. Even though we wanted to save – even though we were determined to save – it just
didn’t happen.
So we decided to make it automatic. At the first of the month, right after we get paid, we set up
an automatic payment from our checking account to our savings account. The deposit went in
regardless of whatever else was happening. Saving was important to us so we decided to make
it automatic. Along the way, another funny thing happened. We managed to still break even at
the beginning of the month.
I think this is Biblical because the Bible talks a lot about something called “first fruits.” If
something is important, we should do it first. For us savings needed to be important, so we
needed to do it first and we needed to make it automatic, removing feelings from the process.
Here are XYZ Church, we’re so grateful for the generosity of so many people who financially
support the mission and vision of the church. This idea of making the important automatic
applies to giving as well. I want to be generous as well as be wise, so in addition to saving
automatically, I also give automatically. Every time I get paid, I automatically give a percentage
to this church. It’s automatic.
As we get ready to head into the summer months, I want to talk about how you can automate
the important as well. We’ve set up our website in such a way that you can create a profile and
set up regular, recurring contributions. Online giving is safe, secure and 100% free. It’s a great
way to be intentional about honoring God and being generous. Many of you give when we pass
the offering plates and that’s great – you can keep doing that. But I want to challenge you to
automate it because it’s important.
So here’s the deal. In your handout, you’ll see an interest card. Go ahead and take that out now.
It says, “I want to try digital giving…send me the link.” If you fill out this card and give us your
email address – you don’t need to write amounts or anything like that – I’ll send you the link
tomorrow. I’ll include all the information and the instructions and you can set it all up from your
computer. Think about taking this step, and later on the service, when the offering buckets are
passed, drop in the card.
If it’s important, then consider making it automatic. We’re so grateful for your generosity.

as possible after receiving their card.
Jimmy,
At church yesterday, you asked us to send you a link that would help you automate
what’s important. Well…here’s the link.
When you visit the giving page on our website, you can set up a recurring donation
tied to your bank account or credit card. You can change the amount, frequency of
the donation, or use a different account at any time. It’s safe, secure and easy to use.
It’s a great way to automate what’s important and help our church maintain ministries
for your family throughout the entire year. If you’ve got any questions, or need any
help, feel free to call 668-544-3089.
God bless,
Brian

Pastor’s Blog
Don’t blog this word for word…let it serve as a guide. Add your own reasons and personality.
Title: Why I Give Online to First Church
In addition to being the founding pastor of Oak Leaf Church, I’m also a financially
contributing member. I give at least 10% of my pre-tax income to my church, and I wanted to
share some of the reasons why.
First, I believe in the mission of this church. I’m proud to be a part of a church that cares about
reaching people far from God. I’m proud to be a part of a place where the mission is to reach
people for Christ and help them follow one day at a time. Every time I hear a story about a
family put back together or a teenager who decides to follow Christ or a man who finally gets
back in church, I know that my contributions played a small part in that. People’s lives are
being changed and this church is a part of that. Jesus said that our treasure would follow our
heart, so because my heart is with this church, I want to financially support it.
Secondly, I want to be an example to my children. I’m so tired of hearing people complain
about the younger generation…they are just following our example! I don’t want selfish
children, caring only about their iPods, clothes, cars, and friends. I want my kids to care about
other people. That’s not gonna happen by accident…I have to be intentional about modeling
that. I cannot tell them to care about others and then spend 100% of my paycheck on our
own needs and wants. Parents, we’ve got to be responsible for teaching our kids to be
generous, and we can’t do that if we are not generous ourselves.
Thirdly, I give because God commands me to give. In the Old Testament, God commanded his
people to tithe, and obedience wasn’t an option. In the New Testament, Jesus talks a lot
about giving and money. Paul writes about money. He tells Christians this: “The point is this:
whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap
bountifully. Each one must give as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under
compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” Every month, we automatically give to our church
because that honors God. We want to honor God, even when it’s difficult, even when things
are tight. There have been times that we’ve gone without something, but we never cancel the
contribution to the church. I’d rob the mortgage company before I robbed God.
I do all of this online. I set up a profile on our website and chose to make my monthly
contribution automatic. It’s convenient, and it keeps me from forgetting to do what’s really
important to me.
I want to encourage you to automate the important by setting up your online giving profile
today.
43. “When we first started with online giving, we were receiving
10% of our offering online. If we had to take a Sunday off for
weather purposes, we would sweat it. We weren’t putting
anything back into the future.
From our first Automate The Important campaign to now, our
online giving has grown to 70-75% of our total offering. Today
we feel confident.
If you want to fund the vision and see the mission God has
called you to accomplished, it takes money.
You can’t afford not to implement
Automate The Important.”
Bobby Williams, Lead Pastor - Ridge Church
