Volunteers provide the ideas, energy, and muscle to achieve an organization's mission. This is true for LMA as it is in all associations and non-profit organizations. If a volunteer's time is our precious resource, then how do we ensure that resource is used wisely to build stronger long-term relationships and avoid apathy and turnover? This is "volunteer engagement." This webinar is focused on empowering the volunteer leaders of LMA at all levels with best practices of volunteer engagement, through perspectives from successful executives in highly respected non-profit organizations who rely on volunteers to further their organizations’ missions. You can also leverage these best practices to increase attorney engagement in marketing initiatives at your own firm.
