Volunteer Management Software - good and bad - and volunteer manuals
by Kay Schwartz 13 Sep '16

13 Sep '16

Hi, all, If you use volunteer signup and/or management software that you recommend or recommend avoiding, will you share that information with us? We are just beginning a formal volunteer tracking program. If anyone has a volunteer manual and/or volunteer job descriptions to share, much appreciated! (I've seen the compilation from Sharon at Allegan County Library last fall in the Michlib archives, but I get the Michlib digest and don't get attachments, so if anyone can respond directly to me with attachments, great.)
