Organization for Volunteer Managers Offers Price-Busting Benefit

Volunteers are vitally important to organizations and managing this vital resource often becomes just one of those “other duties as assigned.” Below is an organization that provides a great resource for that duty:

The National Association of Volunteer Programs in Local Government (NAVPLG) is go-to place for those who manage volunteers at every level of local government. This affiliate of NACo is offering an exceptional new benefit to members. Members will now be able to access e-Volunteerism: The Electronic Journal of the Volunteer Community – a $40 value – for the mere $30 cost of NAVPLG membership. E-Volunteerism offers practical, proven articles on all aspects of volunteer program development and management written by respected leaders in the field from all over the world. The Journal blends the best of printed publications with the capacity of the Internet, allowing for reader/author interaction and audio interviews. The archives offer information on topics ranging from dealing with difficult volunteers to great tips on volunteer recognition.

“The NAVPLG Board is extremely excited to be able to offer this benefit to our members,” said Membership Co-Chair Sue Irey. “E-Volunteerism offers real expertise to those who find themselves managing volunteers. The archives are an incredibly rich resource.” Pass this information along to the right person in your agency so they can learn more about the latest “Hot Topics” in the field of volunteer management.
