Book Review: 365 Ideas for Recruiting, Retaining, Motivating and Rewarding Your Volunteers

on Fri, 09/17/2010 - 00:00

Here’s a review of yet another new book on volunteer management – 365 Ideas for Recruiting, Retaining, Motivating and Rewarding Your Volunteers. It’s so exciting to see so much being published in our field!

I think this is a great “starter book” for new leaders of volunteers. It broadly covers many of the key topics in volunteer management, while providing a unique focus on creating a culture of success and empowering volunteers. One of the best aspects of the book is the real-life stories and ideas from volunteer leaders interspersed throughout. The book doesn’t delve very deeply into risk management issues, but this topic is expertly covered by a number of other publications, such as those by Linda Graff.

I chatted with author Sunny Fader via email to learn more about her and her book. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
