Unsession on Volunteerism - a back of the
napkin experience
It was an experiment – this unsession as an add-on to ASAE & The Center’s Great Ideas conference. Simply put we wanted to start a revolution in how associations connect with their volunteers. So we focused on the three days of Great Ideas with conversations on the ground, on Twitter, Facebook, and more (read a volunteer unsession).
The first step was throwing out a bunch of questions to get people talking about what’s at the heart of volunteerism. Several bloggers accepted the meme challenge – read their postings:
- Kiki L’Italien
- Maddie Grant
- Bruce Hammond
- Jeff De Cagna
- Elizabeth Weaver Engel
- Dave Sabol - read the comments for a cool conversation)
Lisa Junker's posting in Acronym provides a recap on comments from Florida.
And following Dan Roam’s great conversation about the Back of the Napkin, an attendee (was it Lindy Dreyer?) sketched one for volunteerism pictured here.
More to come – and share your own thoughts … what would be your favorite ad-hoc volunteer job or what really gets you psyched to volunteer?
Always in search of ideas.
Haha. Yes. That's my sketch. It's much better when I draw it in person and explain what all the little lines mean. Suffice it to say that the disgruntled guy's word-of-mouth potential is huge. Teehee.
