What Your Organization Receives

Something new every month! 

On the third Monday of each month, your entire network gets month-long access to an Online Seminar or Self-Instruction Guide focused on the volunteer management topic of the month. For the entire year, that adds up to:

6 Online Training Seminars (bi-monthly) combining Flash® media presentations, electronic handout packets, and a discussion board with the trainer responding to questions from learners. (Enhanced-level members get an extra month’s access to each seminar; Champion-level members retain access to all seminars in an archive for as long as their membership is active.)  Sample

6 Electronic Self-Instruction Guides (bi-monthly) of 25-30 pages in length, focused on specific volunteer management subjects, including Featured Readings, discussion questions, additional resources, and a pre- and post-reading self-assessment.  Plus a Q&A opportunity with the trainer. Then all Guides are placed into an Archive that remains available for as long as your membership is active. Sample

Enhanced and Champion-level members also get an audio version of each Guide that can be downloaded to a portable listening device.
