Pathways to Volunteership

By observing to the pathways that are taken by volunteers as
they enter a group, which may differ from the prescribed
volunteer management system, the flow of volunteers into an
organization can be improved.  The "volunteer path" can be
arranged so that the natural rewards for volunteering - a
sense of belonging - are increased at each leadership level
within the organization.  We will address volunteer
"handling", perks and rewards, Avoiding volunteer-group
"pathologies", and fostering "connectedness." 

The ideal attendee is a leader within a volunteer
organization who is in a position to affect
volunteer-management procedures or a leader of a new
volunteer group.  This attendee should have an interest in
fostering new leadership and distributing his or her own
workload among this new leadership.
