Nonprofit Insights: State of the Industry - Volunteer Management Progress ReportVolunteerMatch
Curious about how your volunteer engagement practices compare with other professionals like you? Wonder what the biggest pinch points are for the field of volunteerism? Interested in what the average ratio of volunteers to volunteer managers is for nonprofits of various sizes?
We'll report answers to questions like these and more in the first ever Annual Volunteer Management Progress Report. The report will reflect the results of a volunteer management "state of the Industry" survey conducted by VolunteerPro during the winter of 2015.
For too long our field as been operating in the dark! Our Ultimate Goal: To paint a more complete picture of today's volunteer management professionals, while taking into account their organizational characteristics, resources, location, etc.
Come hear Tobi Johnson, President of Tobi Johnson & Associates and the Chief Engagement Officer (CEO) of VolunteerPro, Trina Willard, Principal of Knowledge Advisory Group, and Jennifer Bennett from VolunteerMatch discuss what we've learned from this report and what it means for those leading, directing and managing volunteers.
Technology - from internal tools to websites to social media - presents opportunities for all areas of nonprofit organization to be more efficient and more effective in day to day work and engaging supporters. Whether you are a small organization or large, have a handful of volunteers or thousands, digital and social tools can help you recruit volunteers, manage volunteers, and engage them with the organization and with each other. Great, social, relevant engagement can make the volunteering experience more positive and directly support retention. In this session at the 2015 VolunteerMatch Summit, we discussed successful strategies and techniques for recruitment, management, and engagement, shared stories from other nonprofits, and highlight potential tools you may want to try in your organization.

We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
