  1. Volunteer Recruitment & Management

  2. Why Do We Need Leaders? • Chapter with No New Leaders • Committees of One • Low attendance at events and programs • New and innovative programs • Fresh perspectives and ideas • More diversity • Same people doing the same jobs • Burned out leaders • Forward-thinking committees • Old, boring programs • Active, dynamic leaders

  3. Why is it Hard to Find Leaders? • Too busy • Don’t want the responsibility • Last time no one listened • Fear of the unknown • Don’t know anyone on the committee • Lack of skills or training

  4. What’s in it for Them? • Volunteer leadership enhances a career • Learn new business skills • Get management experience • Cement industry contacts by working together on project • Demonstrate leadership abilities

  5. What’s in it for CSI? • Effective delegation develops people who are ultimately an asset to the future of the organization • Conduit for information and policy from the national to the local level • Volunteer leaders act as the “arms” of the association -- extends the reach

  6. Delegate With Confidence • Plan • Organize • Budget • Train • Support • Praise

  7. Your Job as a Delegator • Show your confidence in others • Be available as a resource • Address performance issues • Reward good performance/achievement of goals

  8. It’s Really Not Easier to Do it All Yourself…

  9. How to Delegate • Help your chapter leaders discover how to break down tasks • Get people involved in bits and bites • Have brainstorming sessions to identify small, medium and large tasks for each committee • Call new members FIRST

  10. What Does a New Volunteer Need to Know? • What’s expected • What’s the plan • What’s the budget allocated for this project • How best to manage my time • How to do the task • What resources are available if I need help

  11. Just Ask! • Interview members • Ask them to “help out” with one specific thing • The ASK is important • Emphasize the importance of the task • Point out which skill they have that you need • Get them someone to work with • Make them feel good about what they did, however small • Say thank you afterward

  12. Empowering the Volunteer Leader • Establish goals • Be clear about expectations – budget, timeliness, reporting • Give them freedom to decide how goals will be accomplished • Grant sufficient authority and responsibility to achieve goals
