Proof Positive: Developing Significant Volunteer Recordkeeping Systems

Energize, Inc. introduces the brand new edition of Proof Positive: Developing Significant Volunteer Recordkeeping Systems by Susan J. Ellis and Katherine Noyes Campbell—available in both print and an exciting new electronic format! The 21st Century Edition of Proof Positive is a step-by-step guide to designing the forms and organizing the data necessary to manage a volunteer program. The new edition provides advice to help organizations make the most of their computer software programs (or choose the software that will best meet their needs). The Appendix maintains earlier information for those still keeping records on paper.

Proof Positive helps the volunteer recordkeeper to:

• determine the “why” and “how” of what data to collect and report;
• design effective forms to gather information;
• ask the right questions when buying recordkeeping software;
• document hard-to-track volunteer activities;
• demonstrate the work involved in running a volunteer program;
• produce program reports that get attention.

Proof Positive cuts through the excess paperwork that’s not needed and gets to the heart of what recordkeeping in a volunteer program is all about: having information at your fingertips (whether on paper or on a computer) that tells you all about who is volunteering, for what, when and where.

Still the only book of its kind available (the 1980 and 1990 editions were best-sellers), every volunteer program should have a copy of the 21st Century Edition of Proof Positive saved on their computer for easy reference.
