3. Thank board members for their contributions and recognize their efforts at meetings. Maintain contact with former board members through invitations and calls to keep them engaged.

Susan Toalson from the University of Illinois Employee's Credit Union presented on building an entourage and networking effectively.

Networking involves making connections, while an entourage is a group of influential people one collaborates with.

The presentation emphasized sharing content tailored to different audiences, asking thoughtful questions, following up, and using your network to benefit each other.

3 Reasons Why Your Board Disappoints You (and How to Fix it!)Sandy Rees
Does your Board disappoint you?
Would it be a miracle for your nonprofit to have a Board full of movers and shakers who are constantly drumming up support for your mission?
Are you tired of having to chase Board members down to find out if they’re planning to attend an event or a meeting?
Do you wish your nonprofit Board would just pull their weight?
Unfortunately, these are very common issues facing small nonprofit organizations!
And if you’re planning to raise BIG money this year, it’s time for a change.
Even if your nonprofit is doing amazing work and changing lives, you’re probably still struggling to keep your Board engaged.
I know. I’ve been there.
Every day, I coach people with these and many other nonprofit Board issues, like:
Lack of attendance at meetings
Avoidance of anything that remotely looks like fundraising
Micromanagement
Apathy or unproductive conflict
It’s frustrating for you, I know. But here’s the thing - it’s not fun for your Board members either!
I remember being on a nonprofit Board that was incredibly disorganized. Even though I agreed to serve because I cared about the nonprofit, I soon became frustrated with the experience. Every time I saw a Board meeting on my calendar, my heart would sink. I dreaded going because the meetings weren’t fun or productive.
The empty chairs of Board members who repeatedly fail to show up for your meetings PROVE that they would rather be somewhere (anywhere) else!!!
I believe that the core problem lies in recruitment and orientation. When you get the wrong people on your nonprofit Board, it doesn’t matter what comes next, it’s not going to work out well. And if you happen to get the right people on your Board, but you don’t give them clear expectations, you’re going to have equally dismal results.
But it doesn’t stop there. Once you get the right people on your Board, you have to get them oriented so they understand what’s going on and how they can plug in. Otherwise, they’re just a by-stander, watching and not participating.
The answer is actually fairly simple. It’s how you think about and treat your Board members. When you honor their commitment to your organization, and treat them as valued donors, you’ll get what you expect from them. It just takes a few key tactics to build a solid, successful Board.
“Sandy’s so-very-positive style and gracious approach turned a disgruntled and reluctant group into an enthusiastic crowd of fundraising converts. All who attended her sessions said it was the best training they had ever received in the whole of their professional careers. What Sandy does in training is take people where they are and lead them to a much higher level. Our now-productive fundraisers are raising more money than we originally thought possible, and we owe it to the inspirational and motivational training they received.”
~Doug Kingsriter, former Vice President of Development, Be the Match
The YMCA of Greater Cleveland is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen communities and transform lives. It focuses on youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. The annual fundraising campaign is important for providing scholarships to those who cannot afford membership or programs, and to fund initiatives like diabetes prevention programs. As staff, everyone has a role to play as ambassadors who can engage members through sharing stories of the YMCA's impact and asking for donations, in order to increase the currently low donation rates of only 1-2% of members. Successful asks involve believing in the cause, having a personal connection, listening to the donor, and making clear how their gift will help others.
The document discusses creating an exceptional volunteer experience for association members. It outlines that volunteers have different patterns of engagement and motivations for volunteering. The top reasons members volunteer are to contribute to their profession or an important cause, help others, and gain new perspectives. Effective volunteer recruitment involves directly asking members to volunteer and offering meaningful opportunities that utilize their skills. Barriers to volunteering like a lack of information or reimbursement should be removed to retain volunteers and attract non-volunteers.
How to make mundane meetings a thing of the past _ TechRadarTIZIANA RUBERTO
Meetings are important for collaboration but are often seen as mundane and unproductive. A survey found that employees spend significant time in meetings but find most uninspiring, would rather be elsewhere, and have trouble focusing. The top complaints about meetings are that they are too long, presenters are uninteresting, and content is uninspiring. For meetings to be more effective and engage participants, they must be better planned and led, with shorter duration and more dynamic presentations aided by new collaborative technologies.
The document discusses the benefits of volunteering. It provides statistics that show most adults in the UK volunteer regularly. People volunteer primarily to help others or causes they support. Typical benefits of volunteering include helping others, gaining experience, networking, and enhancing one's resume. The document also provides advice on how to volunteer, including identifying interests and organizations to volunteer with as well as considerations like time commitments and expenses.
Through my many years of working with volunteers, I have met so many wonderful people who give so much of themselves. Here are the reasons why they so generously give of themselves.
Thank you for volunteering!

The document summarizes a youth volunteer leadership training organized by the National Youth Committee of the Hemophilia Society of Bangladesh. The training covered the meaning of volunteerism, why it is important, and qualities of an ideal volunteer. Specifically, it discussed that volunteerism enriches society, helps individuals gain confidence and skills, and makes a difference in the community. Additionally, the training explored what skills and strengths volunteers should possess, such as passion, reliability, integrity, a team player attitude, and energy.
The document discusses different types of people - givers, takers, and matchers - and their approach to interactions and relationships. It argues that givers, who prefer to give more than they receive, tend to be the most successful. While takers focus on getting as much as possible and believe the world is competitive, givers strive to be generous with their time, skills, and knowledge in order to help others. Examples are given showing that givers rise to the top through creating networks and enhancing the success of those around them, while takers' short-term gains often lead to long-term losses.
