Decision to Volunteer Gets Reviews
ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership unveiled the Decision To Volunteer research study at its Annual Meeting in San Diego. I'll be sharing the research and insights about this groundbreaking study as we delve more into it. Here's a great summary from Cynthia D'Amour that captures the essence of it. (You'll likely enjoy her current posting on "She wouldn't take my money" too.) As the caption says, this research really does shine the light on why people give their time and how you can engage them.
Briefly, research comes out of a ASAE & The Center's survey of 26,305 association members to identify how they volunteer, where they do it - and why they do it. The book is now available from ASAE.
Always in search of ideas.
Hey Peg!
Thanks for the call out about my summary.
Met with a group of volunteer leaders last night who were trying to figure out how to retain more members. They had a few stories and debated back and forth about the right perspective.
I shared the Decision to Volunteer findings and could feel the relief in the room. It was no longer an issue about what worked. The conversation shifted to how to make it happen.
The DTV research can create some powerful leverage for working with volunteer leaders. Sort of exciting!
Cynthia
