Summary
A virtual event for association staff who work with chapters, special interest groups, committees, task forces, councils, and other components.
Volunteer leaders tell us they're busy. Really busy.
So, when participation is low, recruiting volunteers feels impossible, and leaders start showing signs of burnout, we often assume the problem is a lack of time.
But what if that's not the real problem?
What if volunteer burnout has less to do with the number of hours available and more to do with what happens during those hours?
In this highly interactive session, engagement researcher and author Amanda Lea Kaiser shares how to help volunteer leaders engage members from the start and increase participation without pleading, nagging, or cajoling.
Most importantly, you'll learn practical ways to help volunteer leaders feel successful, connected, and energized in their roles and gain a fresh perspective on what truly helps them thrive.
Are you ready to help your volunteer leaders become more engaged, more effective, and less likely to burn out? Sign up now!
