Intentional and Strategic Management of Alumni Volunteers
Chicago, IL | August 18, 2025 12:30 pm CT - August 20, 2025 11:30 am CT
Learn how to effectively manage volunteers throughout their full engagement cycles.
Event Information
Alumni volunteers are valuable to institutions in both their service and their giving power, as they tend to give 10 times more than non-volunteers over their lifetimes. Yet, however crucial their efforts are in advancement shops, managing volunteers also poses unique challenges—like dealing with volunteer motivations and aligning volunteer efforts with your mission.
Our three-day workshop is specifically designed for volunteer managers in higher education who want practical takeaways to help them to intentionally and strategically manage volunteers throughout the six phases of the volunteer engagement cycle, covering:
- Planning
- Recruiting
- Onboarding and training
- Managing relationships and information
- Evaluating your volunteers
- Recognizing your volunteers
This hands-on workshop will prepare you to return to your campus with a comprehensive toolkit, strategy, and a new level of intention when working with your volunteers.
Who should attend?
This workshop is designed for alumni relations professionals, or teams of professionals who manage volunteers for alumni boards, regional chapters, clubs, and other volunteer programs. Though our curriculum will be applicable to managers of all types of volunteers, we will not be diving specifically into any one volunteer group.
