SUMMARY:Ethics and Decision Making When Leading Volunteers
DESCRIPTION:We’ve all been there – you’re in a difficult situation with a volunteer and you don’t know what to do. Sometimes it’s just a situation where you can’t make everyone happy\, but sometimes you’re in an ethical dilemma – torn between two or more of the core values for leading and managing volunteers. How do you know if you’re in an ethical dilemma\, and what should you do to ensure that you make the right decision? Join Faiza Venzant\, CVA\, Executive Director for the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration and Jennifer Bennett\, CVA to learn about those core values and how to incorporate ethical decision making into your work. This highly interactive session will help you think through a real ethical dilemma faced by a leader of volunteers\, and practice the steps needed to implement this practice in your own work.

SUMMARY:Volunteering Redefined: Managing & Advocating for Older Adult Volunteers

SUMMARY:Creating a Culture of Volunteer Engagement
DESCRIPTION:You can design the perfect volunteer opportunity\, and screen and train the perfect volunteer\, but if the culture of your organization isn’t one that elevates and celebrates the work of volunteers\, they probably won’t stay.

Please plan on attending or watching the recording of the Kick Off session before attending. \nPlease register even if you aren’t able to attend live to receive the recording\, the slides\, and the worksheet for this session.
