Redbird Communications is
conducting research on what makes volunteers tick, on behalf of the Kidney
Foundation of Canada (BC Branch). We're looking for people to attend an evening
workshop where they will help identify benefits and barriers to volunteering,
share ideas about how to recruit and retain volunteers, and brainstorm the
ideal volunteer experience. Participants can be volunteers (for the Kidney
Foundation or for other organizations) or non-volunteers; we want your opinion
either way! Participants will receive a $20 gift card to Tim Horton's, and
a chance to win a trip for two to Vancouver in May. They'll also leave the workshop
with some great ideas for engaging volunteers in their own organizations.
If you are able to attend,
please click on the link and fill out the form, or you can simply call me or
email me!
Many thanks!
