Thanks, Maria for a great training article. Many organizations are thrilled when volunteers are willing to do some speaking on their behalf but FEW do the type of training that will ensure that the presentation goes well and that the volunteer feels comfortable with the information and the audience. Thank you for your insights. Make-A-Wish Foundation is truely lucky to have you as the NY Director of Volunteers.
