Volunteer Management Hot Topics with Susan J. Ellis
Summary: These Hot Topics are podcasted by Susan J. Ellis, internationally-recognized author and trainer in volunteerism and President of Energize, Inc. Through her travels and interactions throughout the world, she talks about the current issues (i.e., news, technology, politics, media image, etc.) in the volunteer management field. If you're a volunteer or work with volunteers, listen each month to stay on the cutting edge. If you think that you or your business need-not-apply - or, should we say, listen - you will find that these topics can definitely relate to you, too! So sit back, relax, listen, and get ready to be energized - (pun intended). Want to read some more of Susan's previous hot topics? Check them out at http://www.energizeinc.com/hot-topics-and-news.
