Wendy Biro-Pollard, a volunteer engagement expert and BoardSource Certified Governance Trainer, will provide insight into social trends related to volunteering. Knowing these trends will make you a more effective leader of volunteers by impacting your ability to recruit, supervise, and recognize volunteers. This session is designed to provide information and tools to increase your ability to improve client and community services while effectively engaging volunteer support. Participants will learn about age and generational values, technology and social media’s impact on volunteer recruitment, skills based and pro bono volunteering, and more.

Wendy is currently an adjunct faculty member at The Center for Nonprofit Studies at Austin Community College. Throughout her career, she has conducted numerous trainings and provided coaching on volunteerism to a variety of agencies including state and national associations, corporate and community foundations, faith-based, and governmental.

Make plans to join us Monday, February 11 to hear more on the next wave of volunteer trends.
