Building Strong Volunteer Programs Series
3 Wednesdays in September
September 9, 16, and 23
12:00-1:00pm
Online
Presented by: Washington Nonprofits, Volunteer Centers of Washington & 501 Commons
How prepared are you to harness the potential of 21st Century volunteers? What are the basic essentials to building a solid volunteer engagement effort for your organizations? In this series, you’ll examine the “how” and “why” of effective volunteer engagement, gain a better understanding of the essential elements and infrastructure required to support your organization’s volunteer involvement efforts and identify simple steps you can take to strengthen your volunteer program.
September 9, 2015 Engaging Volunteers Effective volunteer engagement starts with intentional matching of an individual's interests and talents with the job that you need to get done. Barb focuses on the importance of an organizational needs assessment before designing job description and targeted recruitment. Participants will learn the purpose and steps for developing a targeted recruitment strategy as a means to promote the benefits and features of volunteer positions. Barb Bush: Barbara Bush recently retired from the Washington-Idaho Volunteer Center (and the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) in Lewiston, Idaho where she served as Executive Director for 11 years. During Barb's tenure at the WA-ID Volunteer Center, she held board positions on both the Washington Association of RSVP Directors and the National Association of RSVP Directors. She has also served her local non-profit community as Treasurer of the Lewiston Library Foundation and President of the Lewiston Civic Theatre Board of Directors. Barb has been instrumental in helping several non-profits streamline or re-write bylaws and operating policies in order to strengthen organizational structure. September 16, 2015 Using Skilled Volunteers Using volunteers in skills-based roles can provide enormous benefits. Skilled volunteers can offer insight and expertise and add to our capacity to tackle challenges staff does not have the time to take on. But the tools and approaches we use for program volunteers will not work for skills-based roles. Join us for an interactive and informative session on how to effectively engage skilled volunteers. Participants will learn how to recruit, screen, and match volunteers into skills-based volunteer opportunities. Nancy Long: As the Executive Director of 501 Commons, Nancy Long has spent the last 12 years engaging skilled volunteers in providing professional services to nonprofits in our state. Prior to that, Nancy worked in health care as the Vice-president of Strategy and Organizational Development at Group Health Cooperative, the Director of Quality for the Washington State Hospital Association, and the Director of Planning, Marketing, and Community Services for Pac-Med, and was the founder of the Cross-Cultural Health Care Programs. Nancy has a Masters from the UW Evans School where she was an affiliate faculty member teaching courses on management and leadership of nonprofit organizations. She sits on the board of Executive Service Corps - United States which includes 26 Executive Service Corps programs. Jan Burrell: Jan Burrell brings over 15 years of experience connecting volunteers to meaningful opportunities in the community and ensuring that both client needs and volunteer expectations are met. As 501 Commons' Volunteer Engagement Manager, Jan oversees the Service Corps, the skills based volunteer program, and United Way's Volunteer Impact Partnership, which helps organizations improve the ways in which they engage volunteers. Prior to joining 501 Commons, Jan was the program manager and interim executive director at the Washington Association for the Education of Young Children. She also spent nine years developing and managing volunteer programs for people in their 20s and 30s through Seattle Works. Jan holds a certification in Volunteer Management from Washington State University. September 23, 2015 Recognizing Volunteers Participants will understand the importance and delivery of volunteer recognition, including ideas about recognizing volunteers on a limited budget. The takeaway from this exercise is to recognize volunteers in the way they want to be recognized, using McClelland’s Social Motivator categories. Michelle Morris: Michelle Morris's seven years as the Senior Manager for Community Engagement at the United Way of Snohomish County and director of their Volunteer Center included launching a "Youth United" teen volunteer program and coordinating the annual Days of Caring event which engages over 1,000 residents in 90+ non-profit projects. For two of those years, Michelle was also the President of the Volunteer Centers of Washington, the state-wide association of volunteer centers. Michelle has trained over 700 individuals on effective Volunteer Management and is passionate about the power of volunteerism to solve society's most pressing issues. She is currently the Director of the SeaFair Foundation.
