Nonprofit administrators and volunteer coordinators face challenges to "accomplish more with less" especially in difficult economic times. This year's conference on "Brining Out the Best in Others" introduces leadership strategies proven to empower volunteers, both individually and in teams. Keynote speaker Jayne Mayer from the Verizon Foundation will discuss The Evolution of Corporate Engagement with Nonprofits: Grants, Skills-Based Volunteering and Pro Bono Services.
To help bring out the best in others Tracey Manning, University of Maryland Center on Aging, will hold workshops on Maximizing Your Leadership Strengths, Developing and Empowering Volunteers, and Self-Directed Volunteer Teams.
Don't miss this opportunity on Thursday, September 25, 2008 to tap into the resources your organization can use to build its capacity.

The Baltimore County Department of Aging, in coordination with the Maryland Department of Aging, is sponsoring a series of workshops for people with chronic conditions, modeled after the Chronic Disease Self-Management Workshop from Stanford University. Free training is being offered to persons who want to be leaders and facilitate a six-week workshop for participants who suffer from chronic conditions. A leader must have a chronic disease or live with someone who has a chronic condition. For more information, please call 410-887-2594.
This new initiative from the Baltimore County Executive will place one volunteer in every kindergarten classroom. From reading Dr. Seuss to serving juice, kindergarten classroom volunteers help our young learners navigate through the world of discovery.
Citizen Corps was created to help coordinate volunteer activities that will make our communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to emergency situations. It provides opportunities for people to participate in a range of measures to make their families, their homes, and their communities safer from the threats of crime, terrorism, and disasters. Educating citizens and networking local communities are key elements to minimizing the threat to individual health, property and overall safety during an emergency situation. For additional information contact Michele Kehl.
The county invites residents to participate in "Neighbors Helping Neighbors," an all hazards program designed to teach people the skills required to get through the first, critical 72 hours following an emergency.
If you would like to learn more about participating in "Neighbors Helping Neighbors," visit our online volunteer resource. For more information, please call 410-887-2594.
