With nearly two million nonprofit board seats open, good board members are hard to find. Yet, according to Taproot Foundation, most professionals want to be on boards.
How do nonprofits attract the right professionals to their boards, the ones who want to do the job and who have the particular skills needed by the organization? Well, the simple answer is – just ask. The longer answer is you need a conduit to professionals who care. LinkedIn Board Connect now provides that conduit for nonprofits, at no cost.

Less than half of your employees are satisfied with their reward and recognition programs, despite increased spending among companies to improve these programs. Why?

Using Hidden Networks to Identify and Develop High PotentialsMaya Townsend
~~Slides from May 17, 2012 presentation at the North East HR Association conference~~
How often have you realized, only after an employee has left the company, how critical he or she actually was to the business? Have you ever found your company in dire straits because key positions have been empty for too long? Or have you hired a promising new executive only to see that person fail after just a short time on the job?
If so, you’re not alone. Sixty-four percent of new executives hired from the outside fail at their jobs, according to HR Review. And companies regularly fail to recognize the value of individuals or roles until they’re gone.
Succession planning helps improve the situation. But the data most companies use to make decisions about development and succession is incomplete.
The missing piece is the organization’s networks. Networks show the hidden relationships within organizations and identify deeply trusted employees, subject matter experts, innovation leaders, effective implementers, and problem solvers. They show who is deeply trusted, who people go to for leadership, and who might shine on their performance reviews but can’t work well with others.
Knowledge of the information embedded in networks can help leaders identify high potentials more effectively, make better decisions about succession, and craft more accurate and effective development plans.

Nonprofit Insights: The Overhead Myth - What It Is, Why It Matters...and What...VolunteerMatch
You may not know it by name, but most nonprofit organizations have fallen victim to the Overhead Myth, a misconception that spending money on administrative and fundraising costs is a bad thing. It's been confusing donors for too long about what matters when judging a nonprofit, and it is actively harming our ability to solve the world's problems.
In October 2013 VolunteerMatch hosted a special edition of the Nonprofit Insights webinar series and welcomed Jacob Harold of Guidestar and Ann Goggins Gregory of the Bridgespan Group, in conversation with Greg Baldwin of VolunteerMatch. They discussed the cultural values and past behavior of nonprofits, businesses and funders that have led to the current problem, and answer the critical question of "What now?"
Whether you work at a nonprofit or a company, changing the conversation about the overhead ratio is absolutely necessary for ensuring the health of the nonprofit sector, our communities and our world. Watch this webinar to learn what your role can and should be in ending the Overhead Myth.
Interviewing each prospective volunteer can seem overwhelming, but it's one of the best ways to ensure that the volunteers you recruit are the volunteers you need. This webinar introduces a variety of question types used in volunteer interviews and offers strategies for honing your interview skills. Materials will be provided to help you implement this process in your organization, as well as a training syllabus so you can learn how to recruit and train a volunteer staff to assist with prospective volunteer interviews.

Managing and recruiting seasonal volunteers is always a challenge, particularly when volunteer interest can be skewed towards certain times of the year. While holiday volunteers can be a great asset to your organization, how do you recruit volunteers for the rest of the year? We'll discuss some strategies for maintaining a consistent volunteer base, and conveying the importance of year-round volunteers to your seasonal volunteer team. Made possible through funding from the Walmart Foundation.
Integrating skilled volunteers into your existing volunteer program is both exciting and scary. If you're thinking about adding skilled volunteers to your program, or if you've just started, this webinar can help you make the experience successful for both the volunteer and the organization. Navigating the introduction of the idea into your organization, developing the art of delegating work to volunteers, and setting achievable outcomes will be covered.
Understanding Soft Risk in Volunteer EngagementVolunteerMatch
We all worry about the hard risks that can have an impact on our volunteers and the work they do, but too often we don’t think about the soft risk. Soft risks are the attitudes, beliefs and actions that expose our organizations to risks. Those risks may include the actions of staff – both paid and volunteer, interactions on social media, lack of training for leaders and volunteers - leading to risky behavior, and how failing to screen for characteristics or “fit” can open volunteers and the organization up to risk. This webinar is designed to help attendees identify soft risks in their organization and give them the tools to make changes to processes and culture to minimize and address these risks.
What You'll Learn:
* Understand how your organization's culture of volunteer engagement may be opening it up to soft risk.
* Lead your organization though a soft risk assessment.
* Design communication and training plans to address soft risk.

Symposium 2015 : Business Relationship Management as as a Role, a Discipline,...PMI-Montréal
In today's world many challenges rise from the miscommunication between the Business and the Service Provider (i.e. IT). In many organizations, those two entities are seen as rivals rather than partners. The BRM sits between the Business and the Service Provider to help ensure convergence of business values, priorities, timely escalations, and powerful communications deliveries. The BRM role focuses on the business customer and realized business value. BRM competencies can be leveraged through organizational roles, a discipline, and an organizational capability.
The BRM Discipline rests on solid research-based foundations verified and enhanced over a decade of successful implementations in leading organizations around the world. Proven to be equally effective for shared services including Human Resources, Finance, Legal, external service providers and others, BRM practices have enjoyed widespread adaption in IT. The BRM organizational Role is a crucial link between a service provider and the business. In practice, the titles used by BRMs vary considerably (e.g. Business Partner, Account Manager, Consultant, Business Unit Manager, and Business Integration Manager). Building a BRM organizational capability goes well beyond just defining the BRM role and placing individuals in that role. The growing global importance of Business Relationship Management as a role, discipline and organizational capability is due to the shift from Provider ( i.e. IT department) as a commodity/order taker to a business strategic partner, as there is an increasing business demand for innovation and agility.

Designing meaningful, mission-driven virtual volunteer opportunities, and managing remote volunteers can be challenging. How do you create work than can be done independently, and still supervise, evaluate, or recognize the work of a volunteer you never meet face to face? The good news is that now, with an ever growing set of online tools, building an online community and connecting with someone across miles (or continents) is easier. In this webinar we will discuss best practices for creating those opportunities and developing meaningful relationships with remote volunteers, including building and empowering remote teams, managing projects by letting go but not checking out, and creating a two-way communication plan to share the work of remote volunteers with the organization and share what's happening at the organization with remote volunteers.

How to boost employee engagement with the volunteer match networkVolunteerMatch
Many companies invest a lot of time in researching nonprofits and curating one-off volunteer opportunities for their employees. Yet research shows that one-third of employees won’t actually give through their workplace because they’re not able to choose the causes that matter to them.
What if there were an easy way to connect employees with high-quality volunteer experiences that are meaningful to them?
There is. The VolunteerMatch Network is a consolidation of vetted, real-time nonprofit volunteer needs, all in one place. It can be easily integrated into your existing corporate giving platform in a way that’s tailored to your company’s goals and preferences.
On Tuesday, May 29, 2018 at 2pm ET/11am PT webinar attendees got a walkthrough of:
-Why it’s important to give your employees choice in your volunteer program
-How to balance employee choice with company-sponsored cause areas
-How the VolunteerMatch Network connects employees with causes that are meaningful to them
-How VolunteerMatch’s custom integrations can serve the interests of both your company and its individual employees, while saving you time and money.
So many volunteer managers depend on groups of volunteers to meet the needs of their programs. Different types of groups can come with their own challenges.
We’ll discuss ideas for working with corporate groups, youth groups, and other groups. Effective practices for engagement, ideas for diversifying the work and commitment level of volunteer groups, the importance of creating opportunities with measurable impacts, and communicating those impacts will be discussed.

Nonprofit Insights: How Design Thinking Helps You Increase Impact And InnovationVolunteerMatch
Nonprofit organizations provide some of the most basic and essential services to those who need them most: clean water, food, shelter, etc. However, despite often Herculean efforts, many organizations lack resources and find themselves understaffed and underfunded. For organizations to survive, thrive, and fulfill their missions, the key is constant innovation.
During this free webinar, we’ll discuss how innovative nonprofits (e.g. American Red Cross, GRID Alternative, buildOn, etc.) utilize Customer Centric Design Thinking — a methodology developed at the Institute of Design at Stanford — to think outside-the-box and find ways to leverage existing resources, volunteers, staff, and social media presence to increase impact. We’ll then discuss methods for using design thinking to increase engagement, awareness, volunteerism, and fundraising at your organization.
This webinar will be lead by Ryall Carroll, Ph.D. Marketing and Co-Founder of raiserve.org.
