This document outlines the agenda for an online training webinar about volunteer engagement. The webinar will begin with participants writing questions and discussion topics. It will then review key lessons from previous webinars and discuss overcoming challenges to volunteer engagement. Specific challenges mentioned include time, resources, attitudes, culture and fear of change. The webinar will provide strategies for creating change such as identifying stakeholders, finding champions, setting goals and making action plans. The goal is for participants to feel more confident leading change efforts to improve volunteer recruitment and engagement.
Succesfully Implementing Volunteer Program ChangesVolunteerMatch
Jennifer Bennett from VolunteerMatch gave a presentation about managing change with volunteers. She discussed the seven stages of change and associated emotions: shock, disbelief, self-doubt, acceptance, experimentation, search for meaning, and integration. Bennett emphasized creating collaboration and consensus when implementing changes by clearly communicating reasons for changes, validating concerns, and engaging volunteers in solutions. She also provided strategies for enforcing changes through policies and leadership roles for volunteers, as well as tips for respectfully ending relationships with volunteers when needed.
Understanding Soft Risk in Volunteer EngagementVolunteerMatch
Volunteer engagement often focuses on hard risks: accidents, past bad behavior, or access to confidential information. While these risks are real we often overlook the soft risks that also jeopardize the success and sustainability of volunteer engagement. This session will look at the soft risks associated with engaging volunteers including: “word of mouth” reputation, interactions on social media, lack of training being responsible for inaccurate information being given out, and how failing to screen for characteristics or “fit” can open volunteers, the volunteer engagement program, and the organization up to risk. Attendees will learn to identify these soft risks in their own program through examples, modeled interactions, & learnings from the HR and for-profit sectors, and develop a plan to mitigate the effects on their organization. Attendees will leave with a Soft Risk worksheet as well as action plan for addressing soft risk in recruiting, screening and training volunteers.
Joe Saxton from nfpSynergy delivered the keynote address at AVM 2016, challenging volunteer managers to heed the lessons and good practice examples of other sectors when developing their volunteer engagement practices.
The document discusses light touch volunteering, which aims to engage volunteers with limited supervision and commitment. It defines light touch volunteering as quick and easy engagement with empowered volunteers in short or long term opportunities. The pros are that it is time and cost effective, flexible, self-sustaining, and scalable, while the cons are less control, financial and reputational risks, and safeguarding issues. Case studies from Leonard Cheshire Disability and Diabetes UK show how they implemented light touch volunteering successfully through streamlined processes and flexible roles.

Re=Energize Your Volunteer Program: Creating Mission-Driven OpportunitiesVolunteerMatch
This document discusses how to transition volunteer programs from being "nice to have" resources to being key components of an organization's success. It recommends focusing on volunteers' motivations rather than just thanking them, and including impact in recognition. Opportunities should be designed to create an emotional connection to the mission and emphasize outcomes over tasks. The organization should understand stakeholders' perspectives on volunteer value and share stories of volunteer impacts. Pilot programs can start small by learning what matters to volunteers and incorporating outcomes into role descriptions and conversations.
Engaging skills based volunteers in your organization can be both exciting and scary.

This document discusses strategies for managing an aging volunteer corps. It addresses why volunteers may "age in place" and resist change. Key reasons include feeling entrenched in their roles and a lack of appealing opportunities for younger volunteers. The document provides tips for identifying health or ability concerns respectfully, creating recognition opportunities, and developing succession plans. It also offers strategies for transitioning to a more diverse model, preparing the organization for change, managing transitions through clear communication, and potentially ending relationships professionally when needed.
This document discusses strategies for engaging annual donors through stewardship programs. It notes that annual donors are important despite providing small gifts, and that improving first-time donor retention rates from 48% to 58% could significantly increase donations and the donor pipeline. The document recommends promptly acknowledging all gifts, developing targeted programs for different donor segments like loyal donors and recent graduates, focusing on the enduring impact of gifts rather than amount, and regularly reporting impact to donors. The best practices are to show donors they are listened to, report on impact of gifts, be honest in communications, and thank donors.
Re-energizing your Volunteer Program by Designing Mission-Driven OpportuntiesVolunteerMatch
Too often organizations look at volunteer engagement as something that's nice to have, and never realize the true potential of volunteers. But, our organizations become more successful, responsive, and effective when we look at volunteers as a key component to our organization's success. In this session we'll discuss creating a connection between the work volunteers do and the mission of your organization. You'll learn how to design volunteer opportunities with real impact, and how to tell the story of that impact both within your organization and to your community. Attendees will leave with sample mission-driven position descriptions and a worksheet to help craft their organization's story of volunteer engagement.
Measuring Success: How to Strategically Assess Your ProgramVolunteerMatch

Attendees will leave with a worksheet to help introduce and use ethical decision making in their organization.
Skills Based Speed Dating Pt. 1: Pitch-Writing for NonprofitsVolunteerMatch
Skills-based volunteering is increasingly popular among companies, but developing strong, effective skills-based partnerships with nonprofit organizations can be very challenging. Nonprofits can be unsure of the expertise they’re receiving and how much effort it will require from their typically capacity-constrained organization. Companies can be unsure of what specific skill or type of skills based volunteering would be of most benefit to the community and their employee-volunteers. By speaking to the “other side of the aisle”, both companies and nonprofits will better understand how to think about, message and launch their skills based initiatives.
This session at the 2015 VolunteerMatch Summit brought together companies and nonprofits who want to take that second step with their skills-based volunteer programs, through a fun, interactive speed dating session. Companies had the chance to hear what services would be particularly helpful to nonprofits in their communities – and nonprofits had a chance to “pitch” their skills-based project in a low-risk, low-pressure environment and get feedback on what will make their project even more attractive to potential corporate partners.

The security team at Exatel detected unusual network traffic from computers using the Maxthon web browser. Upon investigation, they found that Maxthon was regularly encrypting and transmitting the browser's usage data, including browsing history, searches, and installed software, to a server in China without users' consent. By intercepting this encrypted traffic, Exatel was able to decrypt it using a hardcoded encryption key in Maxthon's code, revealing the full extent of private user data being collected and sent overseas without permission. This raised serious privacy and security concerns about the Maxthon browser.

Aromatic hydrocarbons are compounds containing benzene rings. Benzene, the parent aromatic hydrocarbon, has six carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal ring with alternating single and double bonds between carbons. The stability of benzene is explained by resonance, where the double bond positions are continuously shifting so that the pi-electrons are delocalized across the whole ring. Key features of aromatic compounds include planar, conjugated ring structures with (4n+2) pi electrons that undergo substitution rather than addition reactions. Common aromatic hydrocarbons include benzene, naphthalene, and anthracene.

This document discusses strategies for motivating and retaining employees through encouragement. It emphasizes the importance of clear standards, high expectations, recognition, and celebrating accomplishments. Employees want appreciation for their work and involvement from their leaders. Leaders who develop relationships, express warmth, communicate values, and listen to employees help create satisfied teams. Regular encouragement involves setting goals, providing feedback, recognizing contributions, sharing success stories, and leading by example through one's own encouragement of others.
The document provides guidance on building relationships through networking.

The document encourages viewing networking as a way to help others and give back through volunteering and donations. It emphasizes listening to others, asking questions, following up, and focusing on developing quality relationships over time through ongoing effort and engagement with your network.
The document discusses the roles of networking, mentoring, and sponsoring in career advancement. It begins with speakers introducing the topic and asking participants to share what words come to mind related to networking, mentoring, or sponsorship. It then discusses the benefits of formal and informal networking. A key point made is that formal networking provides information, builds relationships, and offers career opportunities, while informal networking provides moral support. It also discusses the differences between mentoring and sponsoring, emphasizing that sponsors are more influential and directly advocate for one's career, while mentors provide advice and support. The document stresses the importance of finding sponsors to advance one's career.
#iofnfc The charity trustee: useful or beautiful?Richard Sved
The document discusses the role and responsibilities of charity trustees, specifically as it relates to fundraising. It outlines that trustees can be both useful and beautiful in their role by understanding fundraising strategies, educating other board members on its importance, leading by example through personal donations, and using their networks to identify and facilitate new donor relationships. Effective engagement of trustees in fundraising requires seeing them as invaluable partners who can help reach new audiences, champion the organization's strategy, and provide critical resources. Data shows donors are more likely to give to organizations where they also volunteer, so engaging major donors as trustees can significantly boost fundraising.

Work in any organization, large or small, paid or volunteer, involves transactions of value where the member gets value from the organization and gives value back. Volunteer and employment ex-changes have traditionally focused on the perspective of the organization and what they could get from members. Today, leaders must flip that perspective and consider what the member is looking to gain rather than just what the organization is willing to give to the employee or volunteer. Getting this "employee value proposition" right can help organizations attract high-quality candidates, engage current members to boost performance, and improve the customer experience and business operations. With quality EMS candidates and providers at a premium, organizations that can provide good employee value propositions will thrive, and those that do not will fail to survive.
For many HR professionals employee “engagement” can be a mysterious and elusive thing. Long rumored to be the keystone that can stabilize a bad corporate culture or turn a good culture into a great one; but where can it be found? During this session we will help solve the mystery and show you where to find the weapons you need to hunt down and capture this intangible yet valuable prey.

Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
