If you’re leading a volunteer group, did you ever get frustrated with the amateurism? Sloppiness, cheapness, jerry-rigged, make-do, shoddiness. It’s the “good enough” attitude. And yet, most of the members of your board and many of your volunteers likely possess rich, professional skills and expertise. They would never settle for “good enough” in their businesses, for their customers, in their own homes.

Are you playing sandlot ball with bench full of pros who are just sitting on their…gifts?

It’s time to raise the bar. You want your volunteers to bring their ‘A game’ then lay out those expectations.

Of course, the first objection you’ll hear is that ‘we don’t have the money’. If that guy said that to his boss, he’d be hitting the bricks…either to raise the money, or to get another job. But somehow, on a volunteer board, we all just nod passively, as if accepting our group’s impoverished  fate.

Of course you don’t have the money. But what would you do if you did have the money?

What would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?

How would you equip and deploy your leaders to fulfill the purpose of your organization, rather than wasting their time approving the minutes of the last meeting?

That’s the concept of Affinity Connection…we bring professional quality marketing, development and administrative services to your organization. Call us today [800-598-4050] and we’ll not only show you how to get your pro players into a professional game, but how to do it at no risk to your organizational bank account.

Life’s too short to be the chairman of the ‘just gettin’ by‘ board.

Your organization has a crucial purpose, but did you ever feel so overwhelmed with the mechanics of making it happen that nothing seems to happen? Most leaders get swamped in the details. Not only does the leader and the organization suffer, but so does the leader’s family.

What would happen if you could focus on your core competency, and leave the rest to experts?

That’s the idea behind Affinity Connection. Whatever your purpose, it’s probably not database management, website development, content management, writing and editing, printing and publishing or donation processing.

What if you could hand that off to someone else…someone who’s been doing it for years, for hundreds of clients? Then you could start leading like you’ve been meaning to, right?

Contact Affinity Connection and we’ll show you how it works within your existing budget.

How would you like to become a better group leader, serve your members better, increase their commitment to the organization, and do it all in just minutes a week?

That’s why we have set up the Affinity Connection blog. You see, we work with hundreds of organizations like yours. They have the same struggles you do. More importantly, they generate some good ideas that would work for you as well. Your good ideas can also benefit others.

Affinity Connection folks are always learning from our client groups and leaders, and now we’ve found a way to share experiences and expertise in short bursts. This blog will bring to you real world examples, gleaned from dozens of groups, in a way that’s easy to read and follow.

With a comment section under each blog post, you can ask questions, share your experiences, or engage in civil debate about issues important to the health of your group.

Our client group leaders are sharp, experienced, passionate people, and we know you’ll benefit from participating in this discussion.
