Elective Session
At the end of each fiscal year, we find ourselves wringing our heads thinking of a novel way to thank and invigorate our volunteers. However, stewardship through gifts can often be expensive, labor-intensive, and unfortunately, wasteful. In this session, we will share the way Amherst College has tackled this issue, and strategize with one another to maximize and streamline the art of gratitude, which will help to sustain volunteer engagement without depleting staff members' time and energy.
