The Ellis Archive: Susan Ellis Hot Topics
Susan J. Ellis began writing a monthly "Hot Topic" article on volunteerism in 1997 and continued for the next 23 years! The hot topic was available on her website and was always thought provoking and timely, sparking many discussions among leaders of volunteer engagement. In addition to providing a glimpse at several major events and trends during those decades, a majority of these articles are still very relevant to practitioners today.
