<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>NOTE:</strong> This event will not be held on the first Wednesday of the month as per usual. Event moved to July 10 due to the holiday.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #222222;">Intended for small and volunteer run nonprofits, this presentation dispels the mystery surrounding the selection and implementation of a volunteer management system. The first half of the presentation outlines a series of steps, in lay terms, which organizations should follow when selecting a volunteer management system. The second half of the presentation gives attendees a roadmap to move their organization off their old volunteer management system and onto the newly selected system.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #222222;">Choosing a volunteer management system can, actually, be a relatively straightforward process. Geek Speak and ÂTech Talk will be left at the door as attendees are walked through the mechanics of how to select a volunteer management system that will meet the unique needs of their organization.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #222222;">The fun really begins once the selection process has been completed and an organization is gearing up to put in the new system. Attendees will gain a broad understanding of the steps required to successfully put in a new volunteer management system and will learn about common issues and how to address them.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #222222;">Key Takeaways Include:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #222222;">A step by step process for selecting the right volunteer management system</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #222222;">A roadmap for moving to the new volunteer management system</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #222222;">Common selection and implementation issues and how to avoid them</span></li>
</ul><p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Stop by for discussion, networking with the nonprofit tech crowd and refreshments!</span></p>
