Date: Wednesday, September 3, 2025
Time: 11:00am - 12:00pm MDT Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) / 1:00pm – 2:00pm Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

While engaging volunteers can be a powerful strategy for organizations to fulfill mission, most still position it as a program rather than a strategy. Join this panel discussion to hear how colleagues in the field have successfully shifted their organization’s approach from program to strategy, using solid data, change management, innovations, technology, and more. Plus, gain insights on how each has also embraced their roles as strategic leaders. Come with questions and leave with inspiration!
