1992 Keynote, NY Conference of Volunteer Leaders [Video]
In this 27 minute speech Ellis clearly describes how the image and vocabulary related to volunteering has changed historically -- and is still changing in the 1990's. Sprinkled with bits of humor and her signature provocative style, the overarching points articulated by Ellis are still relevant to our field in the 21st century. |

Attracting and Keeping the Best Volunteers
This video was made by the Learning Institute for Nonprofit Organizations, a national distance learning program. It begins with Ellis quickly reviewing some content from an earlier “Part 1” video, and then moves into a comprehensive presentation on how to recruit and retain volunteers. Later in the video, questions are submitted from the audience (via phone calls & written format) to which Ellis provides specific practical responses. This is where a lot of the value lies! Length: 1 hour 40 minutes |
