July Workshop

“Building and Sustaining Strong Volunteer Leadership”

with Betsy McFarland, CVA

Tuesday, July 14, 2026

9:30 am - 10:45 am

Virtual

Engaging volunteers is only the first step. Today's organizations need volunteer leaders who can champion initiatives, lead projects, support fellow volunteers, and expand organizational capacity. As volunteer expectations evolve, organizations must create meaningful leadership opportunities that align with both mission needs and volunteer motivations.

In this interactive session, participants will explore practical strategies for identifying leadership potential, creating intentional pathways for volunteer leadership, and preparing volunteers to succeed in increasingly responsible roles. Through the VIP Framework—Value Leadership Potential, Invite with Intention, and Prepare to Succeed—attendees will learn how to cultivate volunteer leaders while avoiding burnout and building a sustainable leadership pipeline. Participants will leave with concrete ideas they can immediately apply within their own organizations.
