Too many tasks, too little time?! Why not delegate key tasks to volunteers? But is this really the smart thing to do or should you do it yourself if you want the job done right? By the end of this lecture and discussion, participants will be able to describe the elements of project design, apply effective delegation strategies to volunteer programs, and coach paid staff who supervise volunteers to delegate effectively. Please bring a copy of your position description and a volunteer position description from your organization.
