Linking business change to strategy | Transforming businesses & uplifting capabilities | Driving Change Management Maturity with a contemporary POV
After several years in a volunteer governance role, I recently decided it was time to step away. The transition provided me with a moment of reflection, allowing me to contemplate the often-overlooked challenges that accompany such roles, and the impact volunteering has on our community. #Volunteering #sportinggovernance #VolunteeringGovernance https://lnkd.in/gKaU3Zkd

Great article Mel - I agree there is a broader societal shift. I grew up with volunteering as part of our household and I think that has lead me to where I also have been a volunteer in many organisations. The balance for me is to have the right skills and expertise around the table of a board, this is tricky when it is voluntary.

This is a great genuine account of some of the realities (and life and death responsibilities) of volunteers. Thanks Melanie Parkin. Michelle Kitney, you might appreciate this read. Volunteering New Zealand | Tūao Aotearoa.
