Speaker: Anne Pritchard

Event Details:

Interpersonal communication is one of, if not, the most critical skills that determine our success both personally and professionally. Managing relationships, projects, and every day responsibilities require the ability to communicate effectively. Unlike riding a bicycle, frequency of communication does not increase ability. Successful interpersonal communication requires skills and abilities that help individuals tailor their message to their specific audience. Each of us has a unique style in which we communicate. This session is an opportunity to learn more about the characteristics of each behavior style and to learn how to consciously modify your style in order to create win-win opportunities in your personal and professional life. Participants will be able to apply the skills, tools and strategies learned in this session immediately.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

Identify personal behavior style and the characteristics associated with it
Identify the behavior styles of others
Modify behavior style for maximum communication effectiveness
Plan a message effectively based on the audience

The Four R’s of Volunteer Management: Recruiting, Recognition, Retention = Revenue! - Webinar
Start Date: 24-Mar-10 2:00 PM
End Time: 24-Mar-10 3:30 PM
Location: Webinar - Take this class from your computer!
Speaker: Mary Beth Harrington

Event Details:

Target audience: Volunteer Managers/Coordinators as well as Executive Directors and staff members who may not fully appreciate how volunteers can strengthen the effectiveness and sustainability of your nonprofit organization!

Session Description:

Feed the Homeless Mentor Children Build a House

These are excellent ways to utilize volunteers but they can do more! Volunteers are (or at least should be!) an integral part of any nonprofit organization. But, while more people volunteer today than ever before, they are volunteering less hours so as nonprofit leaders we have to learn how to more effectively utilize the new breed of volunteer!

In this session, participants will learn:

- how volunteers impact the bottom line of your budget,

- how to effectively utilize every possible volunteer

- how to recruit the volunteers you need and then keep them!

Sessions can be designed to fit into a breakout session as part of a conference or developed as a three hour intensive and interactive staff workshop to get your organization excited about using volunteers! Contact the presenter on how we can mold the session to better fit your needs.

Cost: Free for TANO members and $10 for non TANO members.
