Wed 12th Feb, Wed 26th Feb and Wed 12th March, all run from 9am to 10:30am

Session 1: Influencing as a key skill for volunteer engagement professionals — 12 Feb In our first session together we will explore why influencing is a key skill for Volunteer Engagement Professionals. We’ll work together to explore why and how you should articulate the unique contribution that volunteers bring to your organisation. All of this will lay the foundation for our next two sessions.

Session 2: Influencing strategies — 26 Feb In our second session we’ll dive into influencing strategies in a bit more depth./ What change do you want to see? Who are your stakeholders? Which of them do you need to influence? How can you gain support from others? What can you actually influence and how best to focus your efforts?

Session 3: Measuring and communicating volunteer contribution — 12 Mar In our third session we’ll look in more depth at how we might measure and communicate the contribution volunteers make to our organisation. What are the pros and cons of counting hours and calculating notional wage figures? Is there a better approach we could be using? How do we tailor our data to the right audience we want to influence?
