Responses to April 2004 Hot Topic

Unskilled by Association?

by Andy Fryar

Posted on April 11th, 2004 by S.Joricho, Volunteer Coordinator, Sydney, Australia

Thank you for raising this important issue.

I think you are quite right that CEO's and other senior managers often treat Volunteer Coordinators as being lowly skilled and they never really appreciate the work that we do. In my organisation, I have been trying to gain some extra help for the last three years. Management's solution is that they keep sending me redeployees from a range of other areas, none of which have ever managed anyone (let alone volunteers) in their life!

Let's hear what you think
