Guest Blogger: Sara Conley – Volunteer Week

Posted on 16. Feb, 2009 by in Fresh Ideas, Volunteers

Last week my wife wrote a couple of posts. If you missed them, you can catch them here and here.

I know I’m biased, but I felt she had some really good things to say. She’s actually worked on my staff as well as another campus’ staff as a volunteer director. She rocks. When she was a nursery director, only two times did she ever have someone no-show. Two times people, that’s unheard of. She developed an incredible report with her teams and she always knew who would be there, who wouldn’t and who’d be filling in.

So, I invited her to guest blog all this week. It’s Volunteer Week and she’s going to hit several issues regarding volunteerism. Here are a few examples:

  • Your ministry attitude toward volunteerism
  • Your ministry’s volunteer culture (didn’t know you had one… you need to read this one)
  • Cold Call recruiting (sometimes you have to do it)
  • Volunteer training

So, I’ll be blogging some this week as well, but if you only have time to read one post a day from this site… be sure to read Sara’s! You’ll be glad you did.
