This workshop is designed for Volunteer Managers and their Executive Directors who

• Wonder how to get more great, dedicated, and creative volunteers
• Want volunteers who don't need constant supervision
• Dream about launching new initiatives, but don't have the management time or money to expand
• Are having trouble replacing the greatest generation volunteers with "new blood"

This workshop, presented by the Volunteer Center of Maricopa County will walk Volunteer Managers and Executive Directors through the minor and major changes that will help you engage the huge cohort of Baby Boomers as volunteers in your organization.  Starting from a summary of market research on boomer psychology, to structural changes in the organization to developing the right tools for recruiting and retaining your volunteers, this workshop will cover all the major steps needed to engage this amazing generation

Volunteer managers must have at least two years experience or significant volunteer management courses.  Cost:  Volunteer Managers:  $75.  Executive Directors, CEO's or COO's attending with their volunteer manager are free.

Presenter:  Alexis Walker is the former CEO of the Volunteer Center.  She has been speaking on the baby boomer topic regionally and nationally for the past 5 years.  She has participated in a Civic Ventures "think tank" on involving boomers during retirement and has received a Governor's Award for Outstanding Volunteer Program Management.  She is a member of the Boomerz Civic Engagement Committee, the Arizona State Citizen Corps Council, and the Organization of Non-profit Executives Board.
