Leadership Development Program: 
Leading Successful Volunteer Projects

Sunday, November 14, 2004, 5:00-6:30pm (free)

Non-profits, educational institutions, and many other types of organization
rely on volunteers to achieve their missions.  At the same time,
volunteer-based projects are a challenge to pull off. This interactive
session will draw on experiences from audience members and examples from the
recent redesign of the ASIS&T website.  We will examine volunteering,
leading, and success (and even projects) in order to discover some simple
but effective philosophies and strategies to make you a better leader - and
a better volunteer.  

Instructor: Stacy Surla
