By
Joe DiDonato, President, ESource University
Volunteers are the lifeblood of most nonprofits. They help expand our reach and help us raise badly needed funds to accomplish our mission. Having served on the Boards of two nonprofits, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of volunteer engagement. But what if there was a way to increase their participation in both areas?
