About This Month's Meeting:
Volunteers are at the core of every nonprofit's success. They expand your organization's reach, strengthen community connections, and bring passion and energy to your mission. But recruiting, engaging, and retaining volunteers takes more than simply filling a sign-up sheet.

Join us for our September Member Meeting as Brenna Hovatter of Rales Jewish Family Services shares practical strategies to build a stronger, more engaged volunteer program. Learn best practices for attracting the right volunteers, creating meaningful experiences, increasing retention, and turning volunteers into dedicated ambassadors for your organization. Whether you're an Executive Director, Volunteer Coordinator, Program Manager, or Staff Member who works with volunteers, you'll leave with ideas and tools you can put into action immediately.

We strongly encourage organizations to bring their volunteer coordinators and staff responsible for volunteer engagement.
