Good Morning Chapter Leaders!
 
What a week this has been...

Summer flu took me to my knees. It wasn't pretty.

Thankfully I seem to have turned the corner and am back on the pony.

The new 2010 fall calendar is below.

I hope you are as excited as I am about the programs!

Yours in a Surplus of Happy, Active Volunteers!

3 Things to Help You...
  • Managing Your Increase in Volunteers

  • Presenting the Fall 2010 Webinar Playdates Calendar

  • Looking for Suggestions for Stops for the 2011 Lazy Leader Road Show
As well as Upcoming Webinar Playdates



Managing Your Increase in Volunteers

If you want to create a surplus of volunteers, you need to embrace 10% volunteers.

They are volunteers who have a little time to give the chapter - and still want to volunteer in a meaningful way.

10% volunteers can bring interesting value to helping out your chapter in new ways.

They also need to managed differently than traditional volunteers who show up once a month for a committee meeting.

Join Cynthia D’Amour, MBA, author of The Lazy Leader's Guide to Outrageous Results to learn more about the 10% volunteers and how to manage them in your chapter.

Looking for Suggestions for Stops
for the 2011 Lazy Leader Road Show


Could your city be a possible fit?

We are now compiling a list of potential cities for the Lazy Leader Road Show to stop at.

Instead of driving around the country in a bus checking out cities one by one, thought I'd ask all of you for suggestions.

Here are the concepts we are currently playing with:
  • The Road Show program is looking like it's going to be a half-day training about how to be a Lazy Leader and create a surplus of volunteers for your chapter.

  • In order to keep prices affordable, we need to average at least 200 attendees per location.

  • The goal is to train 5,000 leaders in 2011 via the Lazy Leader Road Show.
Here are the must-haves for potential stops:
  • City needs to be within an hour of a major airport.

  • City needs a population of 100,000+ people or be a suburb of a major US city - part of the metro city area.

  • City needs to have lots of chapters or organizations that want to learn how to attract more volunteers.
Do you live in a city that sounds like that?

Please let us know.

Here's a link to a short survey to suggest your city:

I need your suggestions by Wednesday August 18th.

I'll be attending a major expo soon after where I'll be shopping the strongest contenders.

Thanks in advance for your help!
