Trolling for Leadership


Points of View

Thanks for writing about an issue that is consistently ignored in agencies. May take some courage for managers of service volunteers to move into the area where board members are recognized as volunteers and entitled to management techniqes utilized with program volunteers.Sitiing in an all day retreat in which board members talk about volunteers as if they were a different breed is frustrating. Bylaws do not truly define a position description. My experience with board orientations are they are either non-existent or boring. Hope that the attention to this article will lead to new management directions for board members in agencies.
