Volunteer management, volunteer recruitment and more ideas on volunteer recognition
Hi All
In volunteer management you may not yet have considered the power of the group including your volunteers in different ways.
A quick story…
Last week Melanie contacted me. She represented a number of volunteer groups in her local area that meet regularly. Melanie wanted to purchase a bulk order (10 sets) of the two books on volunteer recruitment, retention and volunteer recognition.
She explained that although the budget was tight. Her organization would purchase the books. With the current special discount price and a further bulk discount – then each group could get the books from her at an even better price than individually.
THE POWER OF VOLUNTEERS, GROUPS AND NUMBERS
Melanie and the group’s smart thinking brings up some really interesting ideas about the power of the group and numbers.
How could the power of numbers be used to gain bulk discounts for your volunteers?
What could be obtained when a group of non-profit organizations (large and small) combined their purchasing power?
If you are not already doing this, begin to think about the power of numbers and the power of your group in this way.

Dear Judy,
Thanks for your regular messages. I always get something from them.
Regarding your quote this week, I must object.
If I should make up my mind that I could fly and went to the top of our building and jumped off, I almost certainly would be proved wrong. The power of positive thinking has its limits. (Or as Scotty from Star Trek would say, “Ya canna change the laws o’ physics, Cap’n!”)
All the best,
Maelor

Thanks Maelor for your comment and interesting points.
Perhaps the meaning of the quote lies in the fact that if you set your mind to do something, you will find ways to make it happen (and survive). The Wright Brothers wanted to fly and so they set about making it happen and the rest is history…
Just a thought for a deep thinking Star Trek fan to ponder!
Cheers
Judy
