Attendance: Kelly Wherley (KW), Louis Malone (LM), Vera Grubbs (VG). Cleveland Dietz (CD) was present for part of the meeting.

Call to Order: 6PM

– Initial discussion about the mission and focus of the committee

–  Good database of perspective volunteers, active volunteers and alumni already in system with volunteer coordinator, KW.

–  Detailed discussion on how to handle new volunteers in regards to placement and matching of talent, skills and experience.

–  Speculated about the duties of a development director in reference to the recruitment and/or training of new volunteers. CD cautions us that the development director will probably be concerned mostly with fund-raising.

–  CD suggests that the volunteer committee resurrects and revamps a previous Volunteer Handbook. He will search for an old copy/template.

–  Related documents , such as the orientation sign-up sheet, should be modified and refined to better gauge the applicants’ commitment and enthusiasm as an active volunteer.

–  A Code of Conduct (behavior) to be included in handbook.

–  Also need to establish a set of standards and expectations for perspective volunteers.
