At GRAVA’s May workshop, we focused on volunteer supervision — what it is and what it isn’t. How it serves to strengthen the connection between the volunteer and the organization as well as improve the volunteer’s satisfaction and effectiveness for your organization. We invited Jeannine Panzera, Program Manager with Henrico CASA back as our expert facilitator for the session and a follow-up to her Effective Interviewing workshop in March 2014. Jeanine provided best practice es and tactical approaches to planning objectives and supervision strategy. She also left us with some great resource materials:

Following this workshop, GRAVA Board Members Lisa Adkins, Rebecca Butler, and Athena Huss provided a follow-on roundtable in June that gave members a chance to deep-dive into peer-discussion and learning around their own supervision challenges on the job. Below is the materials shared with the group:
