Scoring Your Way to Enthusiastic Volunteers
Thursday, June 5th, 8:00 - 8:50 PM ET

• Are you tired of hearing "I don't have time"?
• Do you feel like you are doing too much -
  but don't have anyone else to help?
• Do you wish you had a magic wand to get
  volunteers pumped up and thrilled to be working with you?

Wish no more.

Instead, give them what they want... proof their time matters.

When you can document the difference you make together,
volunteers are more likely to stick around -
and do what they promise to do.

Join us to explore how you can weave
simple volunteer feedback into all you do.

• Learn what matters to volunteers.
• Discuss fun ways to intrigue volunteers
  into wanting to do more.
• Explore what to measure and how to showcase progress.

How to Love Up the Member Who Drives You Batty
Tuesday, July 15^th, 8:00 - 8:50 PM ET

You know who I'm talking about... Every chapter has at least one or two members who seem to go out of their way to get in your way - and make you nuts!

It doesn't have to be that way.

Marilyn Suttle, author of Love Them Up and Keep Them Forever is back at the Playground by popular demand.

Marilyn's going to talk with you about simple strategies you can use to regain your sanity, have a working relationship with your "favorite members" - and lead a successful team filled with the entire cast of characters from your chapter.

If you've ever been frustrated by you-know-who, this is a program you can't afford to miss!

Secrets to Creating a Fabulous Fall Kick-off Meeting
Thursday, August 14th, 8:00 - 8:50 PM ET

The first meeting of fall can set the pace for the rest of the year - especially if you have not met regularly over the summer.

The back-to-school season is also when many people identify new opportunities to add to their schedule.

It's a great time to recruit new members and volunteers!

You need to have a fabulous fall kick-off meeting to seize the natural momentum and fuel your chapter to achieve goals for the year.

What’s that you say?  You don’t have time to plan for dynamic experiences?

Well here's part of the secret: planning a fabulous meeting doesn't take that much more time than planning a normal boring meeting!  

Plus the boost in interested new members and volunteers will give you an amazing payoff for your efforts.

Join Cynthia D'Amour to learn the simple steps for creating the meeting members will rave about. You will learn an easy model to use in designing your meeting - and brainstorm possible ideas for implementation. Your meeting may be almost planned by the time you end the session!
