Hello everyone,
At the volunteer strategy day one of the things that was emphasised was a better flow of information between volunteers, staff and the board. I've been thinking about some of the ways in which we can improve this.
One idea I had was to host a monthly Google Hangout at a regular time and date at which anyone can drop in and share ideas, ask questions, float suggestions and so on. This would regularly be attended by at least a couple of members of staff and a couple of trustees, perhaps on a rotational basis.
We tried a similar thing with IRC a while back and it wasn't particularly successful, in part because the tool isn't especially engaging for many people. I think we are ready to try something different.
Any thoughts?
Stevie
