Planning a nonprofit fundraising or awareness-building event takes a team! This group of individuals can have a huge impact on your event.

In this episode I share:

- The typical structure of the planning team

- When you should or shouldn’t have co-chairs

- Which roles should be held by organization staff, when possible

- The importance of matching the person to the role

- What not to do with your planning team volunteers

Volunteers are the lifeblood of a nonprofit. They provide staffing and labor in areas where nonprofits typically can’t afford to hire staff, especially when it comes to events.

In this episode I share:

• The types of event volunteers you need

• The structure of your planning team

• How to create a volunteer grid for the day of the event

• Why and how you should plan for continuity when changing volunteers
