On March 21, we announced that Asia Catalyst’s board of directors has generously agreed to match all donations for our
“New Generation of Leaders” campaign in 2012 up to a total of $8,000 dollars. This means that donations of $100 are worth $200, and a $500 gift is worth $1,000. Anyone who makes donations of $100 or more receives a gift book featuring photos and narratives about our Chinese partner organizations, as well as a foreword by civil society expert Shawn Shieh (China Development Brief). Funds raised go to our campaign to bring Chinese activists to the International AIDS Conference in Washington D.C. and to make our work more sustainable. To give, please go here.
[RESOURCE] Volunteer Management: Developing Leaders
By Adam Froiran and Meg Davis
This is the final part from our manual on volunteer management.
In order to run your organization successfully, a core leadership group can have many advantages. Training volunteers and employees to develop strong leadership skills bolsters your organization’s opportunity for growth and sustainability. Encouraging leadership at all levels of your organization allows for a greater sharing of responsibility and translates to work or projects being consistent, even if somebody has to drop out.
