I think both presentations can be simplified to a few main points:
- Volunteers, event attendees and donors have NEEDS which they can fulfill by becoming involved with your organization
- Before asking for time, help or money, you must first provide value and fulfill these needs.
- Engaging members year-round in quality experiences, and recognizing members for contributions to ensure that they 1: belong, and 2: are important will in-turn increase commitment
I had a blast giving the presentations, and the audience was absolutely AMAZING!!!
