No mention of 'volunteer recognition'

No mention of 'volunteer recognition'

What's missing for me in this letter is any mention, even in passing, of volunteer recognition. I really feel this would be an important step towards encouraging new and existing volunteers.

HI Bodnotbod -

That letter is meant to highlight the three major buckets of work to be done. Details of those priority areas (including volunteer recognition) can be found at Strategic Plan 2010-2015/Priorities.

Also, we seeded the Strategic Plan 2010-2015 page with some stuff, but it's just a draft. If it's important to highlight things like volunteer recognition, then we should have a discussion about that. This current phase is all about evaluation and prioritization for the movement.

I an others have repeatedly raised this issue. I intend to raise it again, and the reasons I believe it has been unfairly shut out (specifically, repeatedly against the facilitators' own instructions) in person on Saturday.

Again, it hasn't been shut out. It's a HUGE component of the plan.

It wasn't mentioned in this one, single document from the E.D. to the Board. I hardly think that means it was "shut out".  :)

Which part of what plan? Please link to what you are referring to.

Sorry, quite right - I should have linked to Strategic_Plan_2010-2015/Priorities, which includes volunteer recognition in the second set of priorities (note, by the way, that these are not hierarchically numbered, but convenience numbered... things in Priority 1 are no more or less important than Priority 2... it's just a construct for keeping track of them)
