Celebration as Strategy: Keeping Volunteers Connected, Committed, and Coming Back

Thu 30th Oct 2025 at 12pm CT

stream opens at 11:50 am

Hosted by award winning Fair and Ag Society advocate Ian Hill

Volunteers are not just helpers — they are community builders, tradition stewards, and difference makers. Recognition is not a bonus; it’s a key leadership strategy for loyalty and retention.
In this session, you’ll learn how to celebrate and recognize volunteers consistently, using simple gamification techniques, social media highlights, and grassroots connections.
You’ll leave ready to build a culture where volunteers feel honored year-round — not just at the annual banquet.

Learning Outcomes:

• Identify year-round strategies for celebrating volunteers in personal and public ways.

• Integrate volunteer recognition into the Volunteer Experience Plan and social media campaigns.

• Use simple gamification and storytelling techniques to fuel volunteer motivation, loyalty, and pride.
