Finding good board members, volunteers and supporters is one of the hardest jobs in community organisations, and waiting until a seat is empty rarely makes it easier. The strongest recruitment starts with the people already connected to your organisation: donors, event attendees, occasional volunteers and supporters who quietly believe in your work. This practical webinar explores how to turn stakeholder engagement into a pathway from interested to involved to leading, with strategies for nurturing supporters, spotting future leaders early, and revitalising boards that have lost momentum. You’ll leave with a clearer picture of what an engaged community around your organisation looks like, and practical steps to start building one.

At this training, you’ll learn:

• how to map the journey from supporter to volunteer to board member
• practical ways to keep people meaningfully engaged with your organisation
• strategies for building stronger connections with supporters and stakeholders
• common mistakes that quietly drain board and volunteer engagement
• ways to revitalise and re-energise a tired board

This training is for people who work in or lead community organisations – particularly those responsible for governance, volunteer coordination, or stakeholder engagement. That includes executive directors, board chairs, committee members, and staff or volunteers who manage relationships with donors, supporters, and event attendees.
