Are you the leader of volunteer engagement that your organization needs you to be? Join your peers to meet, explore the qualities and skills of a good leader, and share experiences around leading the strategy and implementation of engaging volunteers to become that leader.
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.

Purpose Driven Corporate Social Responsibility is Not a Myth (+ Proof!)!VolunteerMatch
How do you balance purpose and corporate responsibility? And how do directives from leadership fit into your employee volunteer program goals? Last (but certainly not least), how do you create a program that’s inclusive of employee wants? If this feels like a lot to juggle, you’re not alone.

Preventing headline news of social business antics is one reason executives hire Protiviti. The focus to prevent bad things from happening with social, however, often obscures hidden gems of Upside opportunity. The irony? Walking past the Upside is likely an even greater risk.
We rethink downside risk to invent "The Reveal," that ppint in the consulting episode where a marvelous makeover is unveiled to delight the client. In this talk, we share a few cases of "Consulting: Impossible" where we reveal Upside opportunity side by side with that reduction in social business risk.

From the Inside Out: Creating a Culture of Volunteer EngagementVolunteerMatch
Are the things you value and believe about volunteers reflected in your organization’s culture? Too often volunteers are thought of as a “nice to have” rather than a critical component to success. If there’s a lack of understanding of the real value volunteers bring to your organization, or if you want to consciously develop a culture that welcomes volunteers this workshop will help you work within your organization to create real inclusion and understanding of the work volunteers do.

It’s undeniable: vetting volunteers is essential in securing your nonprofit’s work.
The way in which you vet volunteers is equally as important. It could make all the difference as to whether a volunteer is mistakenly screened or not. It’s one reason why we’re sharing positive volunteer screening experiences and other stories of how crises happened or were averted from peers in the field.
Creating Virtual Opportunities & Engaging Remote Volunteers - Part 1VolunteerMatch
Beginning to incorporate virtual volunteer opportunities into your volunteer engagement program can be tricky. But, by thinking creatively, embracing technology, and creating screening, training and retention plans built specifically for remote volunteers, you can engage volunteers with the talents you need even if they're on the other side of the state, the country or the world! Join Jennifer Bennett and Deanna Cole as they discuss best practices for creating successful virtual opportunities, and building and managing relationships with remote volunteers. Part II will build on these concepts and discuss in more detail managing remote volunteers. Sample position descriptions and recruitment messages will be provided. While it is strongly encouraged and extremely beneficial to attend both Part I and Part II of this series, attending both is not required.

As leaders of volunteer engagement we’re often asked to make difficult decisions. How do we know if the decisions we’re making are the right ones? When you’re in this type of dilemma how do you intervene or lead? In this highly interactive workshop we’ll explore how ethics guide the work we do leading and engaging volunteers, and we’ll practice using ethical decision making.

Creating a Culture of Volunteer EngagementVolunteerMatch
It's important to create a culture of inclusion and engagement of volunteers within your organization. But, it can be hard to recognize what your current culture says to volunteers, or identify how to make changes to help volunteers feel more welcome. This webinar will help you identify how your organization's current culture is shaping or limiting what volunteers do, and provide steps you can take to start to create more understanding, respect, and appreciation for engaging volunteers.
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.

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.

Half day open training event held in London, England.
Designed for ambitious individuals seeking additional responsibility, people who are between jobs and the unemployed.
For young professionals, having a mentor is often encouraged and touted; however, knowing how to find and effectively engage in such relationships is not necessarily easy or intuitive. This panel draws on primary and secondary research funded by the Plank Center for Leadership in Public Relations, the expertise of an employee engagement expert, and a public relations professional with experience in both corporate and agency settings to help attendees better understand and navigate mentoring relationships. Panelists will share both personal experiences and research insights derived from a survey of more than 400 millennial PR professionals; interviews with 50+ PR professionals and students across five countries; and a review of nearly 200 mentoring studies and articles. Specific topics include best organizational and interpersonal mentoring practices, mentoring’s role in growing diverse organizations and mentoring’s connection to leadership development.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Define what research tells us about mentorship’s value to PR practitioners in both the U.S. and abroad, and its link to PR leadership.
• Reflect on the different kinds of mentors (personal, academic, professional) and will learn about the importance of mentorship in growing diverse, inclusive workplaces.
• Analyze the 10 best organizational and interpersonal mentoring practices and will receive practical tips and advice for building and fostering them.
Features public relations professionals:

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.

Editor's Notes
Welcome – interactive so don’t be shy! Introduce myself Talk about past roles
Are you confused about your role and responsibilities? Feel a bit lost sometimes? Unclear about what your priorities should be? Perplexed as to why no-one at your charity really understands what Communications actually is? Are you pulled in so many different directions? Well, you are not alone! Surveyed 75 Sole Comms people Asked a variety of questions from Job title, what does your role entail, to what frustrates you about being the sole Comms person, what do you love about your role to is Comms valued in your charity. I’m going to share some insights with you from the results of this survey and give you some practical tips to help you in your role
Job Titles varied from Comms Officer to Director of Comms. One wrote ‘Evangelist’ which I think was an attempt at humour but was quite apt. Just over half felt that their job title adequately reflected their roles and responsibility The majority of respondents have been in a sole comms role for less than 3 years. Last point – unsurprisingly, 90% felts that Comms needed to be invested in in their charity

I asked which aspects of their role frustrated them the most and common themes were: Lack of understanding about what Communications is – often you’re the ‘catch-all’ for everything. “ Trying to do too many things at once and dealing with huge expectations that I know everything about all areas of comms” - “ I can barely touch what we could be achieving because I'm doing everything”
According to the responders, meetings, social media, updating the website, Copywriting for print and online and Writing e-newsletters, hard copy newsletters and leaflets takes up most of their time. Do you agree? If you could choose just one of these, which one takes up most of your time? When asked to choose just one, responders said Updating the website takes up most of their time.
Have you got a big campaign? Provide your supporters with a template Press Release and ask them to approach their local media. Have a link to the newspaper society database for them to search their local media contacts. Press Cutting services are very expensive, so be your own service! Set up Google Alerts for key terms and keep track of your PR. Have you used a hashtag in a Twitter campaign? See how far your tweet travelled, or how many people used you unique hashtag, with TweetReach Tweetdeck and Hootsuite can be used to manage all your social media ( free accounts allow up to 5 channels – FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google +, Flickr, Mailchimp etc), you can schedule tweets and posts as well as run Analytics reports I have a handout that has a list of Bloggers, websites, LinkedIn and Facebook groups you should be following to keep up to date with developments in Comms, Digital and Marketing Do you NEED a meeting? Can you resolve your issue/query through an email or telephone call? Don’t meet unless you have to!
Top of the bottom of the priority list is Reporting, followed by Internal Comms and Pr and Media. Out of all of these options, what is the one thing you are less able to dedicate time to? When asked what is the ONE aspect they are least able to dedicate time to, respondents answered ‘Reporting’.
Let’s face it. No one has time for reporting! But if we’re not analysing our supporters, our website and the information we place on social media, how do we know if we’re giving people what they want or need? Why is your engagement low? Why does no-one click on your donate button? Why are your enewsletter clickthroughs so low? I asked my manager for one day a month to work at home on Analytics – no distractions! I used my network to ask for help – met with Sami from BRC to help me understand Analytics Ask your peers for a reporting template or ‘Google’ one. It should just form an outline but make sure it’s useful to YOU Use Custom Reports and Advanced Segments in Google Analytics to make your reporting meaningful Once you start gaining insight from reporting, you can build a picture of what your role entails, how labour intensive it is, the impact that it makes, how it could be improved and possibly, a solid business case for recruiting another Comms person.
In the survey I asked ‘Do you feel supported in your role’ and only 58% said yes. I then asked ‘What would make you feel more supported in your role’ and the top answers were: A communications strategy and work plan, a network of peers who could support me in my role and a pay rise according to changes in my job role. On this note...I have a little exercise for you Put in pairs – give template handout
Revisit your job description and make sure that you establish with your responsibilities with your Line Manager. If your job description has changed substantially, then put forward the case for a Job Title change, pay rise or a business case to expand the Comms Team. (Workshop) Sit down with your Line Manager once a month and set your priorities for the month ahead. Make sure you stick to this and ensure that colleagues submit their requests in advance so that you can manage your time effectively. There are so many free events, seminars and workshops that you can attend to help you in your training and development. Some of these are highlighted in my handout. Charity people are a friendly bunch and they’re more than happy to help you out. Start engaging with them on Twitter and through Facebook and LinkedIn groups and also at free events. (handout) You will be amazed at how much you can learn from them. Example- BHF Hard and fat campaign – i was able to put together a Digital Campaign strategy . CHARITYCOMMS MENTOR It’s important to remember that you are one person doing the best you can with what you have been given. Accept that you are only human and that you cannot be everything to everyone.
