Volunteerism in a Changing World: How is Your NFP Adapting?
Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 1:06PM Volunteerism is an evolving phenomenon that is having a significant impact on associations and charities alike. Whether they manage your organization at the board or committee level, support your staff, or carry out your mission through their day-to-day activities, volunteers are clearly the lifeblood of the not-for-profit sector.
We received a lot of great topic suggestions for our upcoming NFP Pulse but a surprising number of you asked for a survey on volunteerism. Specifically, you wanted to know what other NFP’s are doing in the way of volunteer recruitment and retention in an era where changing demographics, priorities and lifestyles are conflicting in many ways with the traditional way in which people have volunteered in the past.
The March edition of the Not-for-Profit Pulse will be launched next week and we hope you will take the opportunity to participate. Your input will be used to help you and other NFP's to better understand how associations and charities are positionning themselves to succeed in light of this evolving trend.
More information about the NFP Pulse can be found here. As always, participants will be provided with a free copy of the results as a thanks for their participation.
Stay tuned, more info to come soon!
