[Event] Linda Graff on Board Dynamics in a changing volunteer landscape

On June 9th, join Volunteer Vancouver and discuss new thinking and strategies to attract the skills, talent and influence needed at the helm of your organization. In a session led by Linda Graff, a leading voluntary sector thinker and author, the workshop will address:

Board development and succession planning in the context of shifts in volunteerism. Generational differences in volunteers, and what that means for shifts in both volunteer duties and the structure of volunteer involvement. The needs of an increasingly demanding volunteer corps to help you to both recruit and retain volunteer leaders in your organization.

Do you have a dream board of advisors/directors? How is your board contributing?
