May 2, 2011- How to Expand Your Active Volunteer and Leadership Core
Join this one-hour webinar to learn ways to increase the "active core" of our congregations and to understand warning signs of dis-engagement.
Learn how to involve more individuals and families – especially those who are waiting to be asked to get involved. Just like the fourth child from our Pesach seder – sh'ayno yodeah leeshole, there are members of our congregations who do not know how to ask to get involved. This webinar will guide you through a process of how to get to know, motivate, recruit and involve your members.
"The task is too heavy for you: You cannot do it alone." Exodus 18:18.
Whether we are small or large, how do we create a congregational community and environment in which everyone wants to be involved and engaged? Often times our congregations are fueled by a small core of active members who are our leaders, volunteers and participants over and over again – our "go-to" people. While it is necessary to have this active core, it is also crucial to find ways to expand the core.
