Description

This free report is a sneak preview of a new book by Betty Stallings, currently in development and to be published by Energize. The book is being written primarily for and to CEOs and discusses why investing in volunteer programs brings huge dividends to an organization. It also describes the key actions that need to be taken by CEOs to increase the effectiveness of volunteer engagement and numerous ways to diminish identified barriers.

Betty asked hundreds of colleagues to nominate executives they considered to be exceptionally supportive of their volunteer programs and of the managers of those programs. The 50 CEOs identified as such “Volunteer Program Champions” then were invited to complete an extensive written survey to uncover and assess their actions regarding volunteers. All this research surfaced the “12 key actions” reported in this new publication.

Why is it free? What’s the catch?
We do indeed have a motive for offering you this publication free of charge: We want to introduce everyone to how easy it is to order, download, and use electronic articles and books through the Energize Online Bookstore.

  • First, you’ll experience what it’s like to place an order in the Bookstore, since you’ll have to follow all the steps to obtain the free book that a buyer of any of the books we sell would follow. In fact, by the end of the process (which, as you’ll see, takes only a few minutes), you’ll have your very own Energize Bookstore account for possible future use (without any obligation for further purchasing and we promise not to send you any e-mail notices or mailings unless you request to receive them - see our privacy statement).
  • Second, you’ll see how an electronic article or book can be immediately accessible for you to download to your own computer.
  • Third, you’ll then have a no-risk, no-cost opportunity to test how it “feels” to use an e-version of a publication.
  • Fourth, if you permit us to do so, we’ll send you notice of when Betty’s new book is available so that you can get all the information on this important topic.
