August 5, 2026: Expanding Your Volunteer Network By Seeing Volunteers as a Strategic Asset
Presenter: Jenn Golbach, Together Marathon County & B.A. & Esther Greenheck Foundation
Volunteers are not an add-on to nonprofit work, they are a strategic asset that expands your organization's capacity, reach, and resilience. Yet many nonprofits still approach volunteer engagement as a recruitment problem rather than a leadership opportunity. This session invites nonprofit leaders to rethink what it truly means to "expand your volunteer network." Instead of focusing on numbers, we'll explore how strengthening systems, culture, and leadership practices around volunteers naturally grows your network and deepens community connection.
