by Bruce Ahern

(WireNews+Co) - Denver, CO - 25 September 2012

Holly Duckworth, president and chief connections officer of Leadership Solutions International, shares strategies to optimize the recruiting of volunteers and match the mission of the organization in this unique interview featured in the 2012 Speaking & Coaching Insights Catalog on Convey — The Business Knowledgebase (http://www.conveycontent.com).

Holly Duckworth believes that if you really position the job you want your volunteers to do, break it down into smaller components, and focus on matching the person to their strengths, your recruiting and retention will improve.  

“Once we determine the most effective and efficient roles that the volunteer groups need, we break those roles into smaller tasks,” said Holly Duckworth. “By breaking these roles down, we not only get more committed volunteers, but we get more of them to volunteer and really grow the vision and mission of the organization.”

“Holly has developed a passion for helping groups that depend on volunteers drive the goals of their organization,” said Carolyn Bradfield, CEO of Copper Services. “She effectively uses her skills to maximize the effectiveness of a volunteer workforce.”
