Organizational Strategy Call
Call details
What we'd like to talk about
I'd like strategic advice to improve engagement and buy-in of our various departments in the use of volunteers. We are hoping to create more structure and accountability regarding this issue.
Additional context
Volunteer involvement is a core strategic initiative at our organization. but actually finding an effective system for our various departments to decide on tasks and duties and then train, monitor, and manage their volunteers has been a challenge up till now. This is where we are hoping to discover new strategies of organizing, supporting, and improving follow-through for the departments in order to improve their volunteer use and engagement.
"Phone calls" are 1 hour, one-time calls with an organization. Learn the difference between volunteering on a Phone call and a Project here.

Testimonials
We really enjoyed working with Anita for our Organizational Strategy call. She gave some laser-focused suggestions regarding ways we can create clarity and definition to increase buy-in at the top-most levels of the organization which can then create organizational change and accountability down through the lower levels, which is what we are looking for.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Karen, Julie and Narava on this project. NVFS is doing some amazing work for the regions communities. Now more than ever we need organizations such as NVFS to succeed. I am so happy that I made the decision to volunteer my time.
