Professionalism
It has been very much impressed upon this Management Committee that we need to move toward a more professional operation. Without such we will not attract the level of expertise to the organisation which we need to succeed. We are operating in a marketplace where other charities are run professionally.
This starts with treating all volunteer positions (apart from the most very casual) no differently to paid ones. All key volunteers must go through an interview process before being accepted. It is important that we maintain a team, and choose suitable persons to fit into it. I can’t stress that enough. Not everyone who volunteers can be accepted.
To be professional we must develop a team that can work together, that has the necessary skills. Starting from late September we have tried to look for people who can come on the Management Committee who have specific expertise such as fundraising, legal or marketing knowledge. In the office we need to have people that can gel together nicely – we won’t retain volunteer workers if they don’t enjoy coming in and don’t feel like they are being productive.
