improved/changed 47% Hadn’t thought about it until I was asked to
volunteer 27% Wanted to help the group be better 27% Wanted to give back to ASSE 24% Other 20%

I wasn’t asked I didn’t know what was required of the positions Thought I had to be able to attend chapter
meetings to be involved I didn’t know what opportunities were available I didn’t think I had time Employer wasn’t supportive Didn’t feel I was needed
What prevented you from Volunteering Sooner…

I Would Volunteer if…
I could be given short term assignments I have more info about opportunities available
to me The volunteer organization would train me to
do the work My employer supported my participation as a
volunteer I knew it would make a difference in my
profession or my work I was actually asked to volunteer
![Page 9: Developing and Leading Effective Volunteer Teams Diana Stegall, CSP, CFPS, ARM, ALCM, CPCU RVP Region 5 - Northwest Chapter – President 2013-2014 Pam Perrich,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ef65503460f94c0a34e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
I Would Volunteer If…
I knew I had the skills to do a good job I could volunteer electronically or virtually I was recognized and appreciated for my work
as a volunteer I was not disappointed with volunteering in the
past I was reimbursed for expenses such as meals
or gas allowance.

The Art of Delegation
![Page 24: Developing and Leading Effective Volunteer Teams Diana Stegall, CSP, CFPS, ARM, ALCM, CPCU RVP Region 5 - Northwest Chapter – President 2013-2014 Pam Perrich,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ef65503460f94c0a34e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Delegation does not take away your ultimate responsibility for
the task YOU still own it
Their success is your success . . . Their failure is your failure
lend itself to every task Some things simply can not be delegated
Delegation Pitfalls
![Page 25: Developing and Leading Effective Volunteer Teams Diana Stegall, CSP, CFPS, ARM, ALCM, CPCU RVP Region 5 - Northwest Chapter – President 2013-2014 Pam Perrich,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ef65503460f94c0a34e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Every delegator must Assign tasks to the right people [Selection] Clearly define the task [Job Description] Ensure they have the ability (Skillset) to achieve
They = individual or group Coach the Volunteers
(evolving style (prescriptive to performance) reflects V’s skillset)
Empower Maintain project oversight

Keys to Successful Delegation
![Page 28: Developing and Leading Effective Volunteer Teams Diana Stegall, CSP, CFPS, ARM, ALCM, CPCU RVP Region 5 - Northwest Chapter – President 2013-2014 Pam Perrich,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ef65503460f94c0a34e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Exercise #2
What kinds of duties or tasks within the realm of a chapter officer or chapter operations can reasonably be delegated? Spend a few minutes and generate a list.
![Page 29: Developing and Leading Effective Volunteer Teams Diana Stegall, CSP, CFPS, ARM, ALCM, CPCU RVP Region 5 - Northwest Chapter – President 2013-2014 Pam Perrich,](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032612/56649ef65503460f94c0a34e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Exercise #4
To enable someone else to do a job for you, you must ensure that: they know what you want they have the authority to achieve it they have the ability (skillset) to achieve they have the incentive they know how to do it.
These all depend upon communicating clearly the nature of the task, the extent of their discretion, and the sources of relevant information and knowledge.
