Ever wonder what the keys are to getting volunteer involvement? After years of coaching Little League Baseball, I am starting to understand how this is done. When leading volunteers, often the expectations of performance are not clear, communication is sparse, levels of engagement vary between individuals and the window to
establish success is short. Coaches, league administrators, players and parents act much like association volunteers. This session will highlight parallels between the disparate worlds of little league baseball and leading volunteers in a nonprofit organization. Baseball terms will be used so be careful, you do not want to called OUT!Effective conferencing reading

This document provides an overview of the SQ3R active reading strategy. SQ3R is an acronym that stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. It guides readers to first survey the text to understand its structure and key points. Readers then turn headings into questions to answer while reading.

Finally, readers review by re-asking all their questions and ensuring they can answer them. The document encourages active engagement with texts using these SQ3R steps to improve comprehension and retention.Warren day 2

This document provides guidance on brainstorming and planning for an essay. It discusses that brainstorming is an important early step that helps develop a provisional writing plan. This process can help uncover a central theme and focus research questions. Having an initial plan can prevent being overwhelmed by information later on. The document also provides an example of turning a thesis statement into a more detailed provisional outline. It stresses that the provisional plan will likely need revision after further research. Guidance is offered on finding and evaluating sources, taking notes, knowing when to stop research, and revising the initial plan based on new information. Finally, it covers writing a first draft and checklist for editing.Writing 4 paragraph to essay
