2015 DOVIA Volunteer Management Conference

Creating Volunteer Loyalty

Loyal volunteers who actively support an organization’s mission and strategies are both an indicator of and key to a well-managed volunteer program.  Volunteer managers succeed when well-trained volunteers complete strategic projects and effectively serve the organization’s clients and the community.

Keeping volunteers engaged is tricky and complex and subject to the needs of the volunteer and clients, staff and the organization.  Retaining volunteers is a lot more than making them feel good about their assignment and themselves.

In this fast-paced session, we’ll look at

– What causes volunteers to disconnect before they should
– Ways to enhance volunteer communication and self-esteem
– How we should measure our success.
