    Volunteer Management Hot Topics with Susan J. Ellis

    These Hot Topics are podcasted by Susan J. Ellis, internationally-recognized author and trainer in volunteerism and President of Energize, Inc. Through her travels and interactions throughout the world, she talks about the current issues (i.e., news, technology, politics, media image, etc.) in the volunteer management field. If you're a volunteer or work with volunteers, listen each month to stay on the cutting edge. If you think that you or your business need-not-apply - or, should we say, listen - you will find that these topics can definitely relate to you, too! So sit back, relax, listen, and get ready to be energized - (pun intended). Want to read some more of Susan's previous hot topics? Check them out at http://www.energizeinc.com/hot-topics-and-news.

    What Volunteer Recruiters Can Learn from #GivingTuesday

    What Volunteer Recruiters Can Learn from #GivingTuesday
    Have you heard of #GivingTuesday? It’s a global fundraising event that connects to the pre-holiday shopping season. How can we link volunteer recruitment to this campaign? And what does it teach us about the fine art of “piggybacking” as a recruitment tool that we can use in many different ways?

    Get the Most Support: Blending Money, Things, and People
    Although critical, raising money is not the only way for an organization to support its work. Are you, as leader of volunteer resources, included in planning for fundraising so you can suggest possible non-cash avenues to obtain some of what's needed?

    The Division of Labor between Volunteer Centers and Volunteer-Involving Organizations

    The Division of Labor between Volunteer Centers and Volunteer-Involving Organizations
    Susan explores the relationship between individual organizations and “connector” agencies such as volunteer centers created to increase community-wide volunteering.  They have mutual goals, but different perspectives. How do we assure partnership and avoid competition?

    Incorporate the Power of Live Web Calls into Volunteer Management

    Incorporate the Power of Live Web Calls into Volunteer Management
    Susan discusses the amazing opportunities that VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) platforms offer for effective volunteer management. You may already use Skype to interview prospective volunteers or to interact with remote volunteers. What about as a method of bringing expertise and training to your organization?

    Volunteers as Beta Testers

    Volunteers as Beta Testers
    Paid staff plan new projects by applying their expertise to the intellectual challenges of the task. But it’s clients who will feel the impact of their decisions. By the time service users give feedback, it may be too late (or expensive) to make corrections. Volunteers, who bring a wide range of perspectives as members of the public, are great at pilot testing options much earlier in the process. And they will love doing so!

    Keeping Former Volunteers in Our Circle of Good Friends

    Keeping Former Volunteers in Our Circle of Good Friends
    A high school reunion made me think about how often we miss opportunities to stay connected to volunteers who leave their positions with us. The fundraising office “cultivates” even the smallest money donor patiently over time. So why do we sever ties completely with former volunteers who may still care a lot about our work?
