Sharing what has worked, what hasn't, & what motivates us -when it comes to keeping ourselves & our greatly appreciated volunteer base coming back for more- was very inspiring! Such a variety of different needs across organizations presents a perfect broad window of options for incoming volunteers to choose just the right fit for them. How to get them all in one place, all at one time.. that's always the question that gets us brainstorming! Ideas generated from the group at this meeting is a wonderful starting point and I look forward to being a part of making this unfold in a mutually beneficial manner for the organizations AND the volunteers! Thank You, Roger, for putting this together & Thank You, Sue, for arranging the provisions & luncheon at SCC!

I was particularly taken by the character, integrity and motivation of those present, and look forward to working...and, as much as possible, playing...together as we find and implement ways of creating better, safer and more cooperative communities. Having such professional tools as this website and related services, I must add, will make a substantial difference in the eventual outcome.

On the other hand, it's an interesting mystery why few companies and even fewer volunteer programs actually apply these best practices.

It does not have to be like this. So often we see volunteers struggling to find outlets for expressing their passion and desire to make a difference - to connect with people and have fun.
