Benefits

Relationships lead to:

• Increased enrollments

• Grant support

• Faculty –practitioner collaboration

• Equipment

Example: A local agency offered to donate a $550,000 portable burn simulator in exchange for a series of training classes for its employees.

Gulf Coast State College incorporated the trailer into a broader curriculum that now serves its three counties.

Relationships Create Synergy

Teambuilding Strategies

Ask “The number one reason people do not volunteer is because nobody asks them.”

Who?• Decision-makers (Sheriff, police/fire

chiefs, emergency managers, military)

• Subject Matter Experts (IT, utilities, public works, transportation, logistics)

• Community Leaders (clergy, volunteer organizations, key non-profits such as the American Red Cross, K-12 schools)

It is important to recruit board members who represent a diverse cross-section of your community

Recruit & Retain Volunteers

Teambuilding Strategies

Building Blocks of Success

Create a timeline with milestones for recruitment, fundraising, meetings, and appreciation.

Realize board members will only have 10-15 hours each month to contribute.

Plan regular (monthly, quarterly) meetings. Make it productive time.

Give them some real work to do; concrete outcomes that they can see when the job is completed.

Emphasize and maintain confidentiality.

Recognize and thank them publically.
