“Energizing Volunteer Leaders of Today for Tomorrow”
FORT BLISS, Texas – Oct. 2, volunteer leaders of the Fort Bliss and El Paso communities will join together for a seminar on volunteer management to be held at the Centennial Club and Conference Center. The theme will be “Energizing Volunteer Leaders of Today for Tomorrow.”
Volunteer managers play a crucial role in volunteering. Both paid and unpaid volunteer managers recruit, train and coordinate the volunteers who improve communities through their selfless acts of service. The purpose of this seminar is to provide a fun-filled, engaging opportunity for volunteer leaders within the Fort Bliss and El Paso community to develop new skills in volunteer resource management, network with colleagues, and learn how new techniques can be integrated into their program to make it more effective, efficient and powerful.
One highlight of this year’s seminar is a keynote address by the First Latina chair of the Girl Scouts of the USA National Board, Patricia Diaz Dennis. Other highlights of the seminar are workshops on topics ranging from volunteer recruitment to marketing your volunteer program as well as exhibits from the Corporation for National and Community Service, nonprofit organizations and vendor booths.
This seminar comes at a time when our president has called on our country to renew our communities through service. This seminar will better prepare leaders of those who serve with the tools to ensure that their service is a success. The seminar will bring together participants from such groups as the American Red Cross, Fort Bliss family readiness groups, Humane Society and Army Community Service with one common goal: to find better ways to engage volunteers to improve our community.
