One member commented that during the webinar, ALIVE members “learned to maximize the power of stories and came away with ideas to immediately apply to their program and processes.” Visit the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration (CCVA) web site for more information and to connect with Katie Campbell. Join us for the next webinar, with Susan Ellis, President of Energize, Inc, on March 2. Susan will discuss Professional Development in Volunteer Leadership, the resources available of to us and how to find it. read more... Financially Speaking

Staffing Effective Assocation Leadership Harriett EdwardsStaffing the organizational board for effective association leadership is one of the keys to success for any nonprofit or membership association. In Jim Collins’ Good to Great (2002), he points out the importance of having the right people “on the bus” and in the right seats on the bus to ensure that the organization has the resources to accomplish its mission and goals.
