About the event
Join VMCI for our annual Fall Kickoff—a relaxed, energizing afternoon designed to help you reconnect, recharge, and get inspired for the busy fall season ahead!
This session will focus on practical, real‑world strategies for re‑engaging volunteers, rebuilding momentum, and sparking fresh enthusiasm within your teams and organizations. We’ll blend light professional development, peer idea-sharing, and plenty of time to simply catch up with fellow volunteer managers across Central Iowa.
Highlights include:
• A short, interactive conversation on current trends in volunteer motivation
• A “swap one challenge, share one win” round-robin for real solutions
• Casual networking designed to help you make new connections or reconnect
