I worked with The Volunteer Center to promote The Board Match Event. During my two months there, I was impressed with their event planning skills. With minimal resources, this seasoned team of four pulled off a very well organized event. Despite rain, a volunteer hiccup, and a location change results indicate that there were several potential matches made.
As a volunteer, I felt the team delegated jobs with clear instruction, provided room for creativity, looked for projects that fit my growth goals, worked well to solve unexpected problems under pressure, and constantly solicited feedback on how to improve the event.
I would work with them again in a heartbeat!
