"In June, when I was at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service, I got interviewed by What Gives on the role Managers of Volunteers need to play in convincing their boards to support volunteerism.
They have done a great job. Apart from the annoying way I wrinkle my nose, I like this video.
I also like the quote they drew from it:
For a board that’s trying to find the money to keep an organization afloat, the fact that a volunteer goes home with a cookie at the end of the day isn’t really relevant. At the end of the day the board doesn’t actually care if the volunteers are having fun. It’s the responsibility of the board to make sure they have enough resources to keep the organization going." – Martin J. Cowling, People First – Total Solutions
