The Ottawa Sport Council is pleased to announce the next workshop of the Rebound program being offered for Ottawa community sport organizations throughout 2021. Join us for our free Volunteer Recruitment and Retention Chalk Talks on April 20. This full-day workshop will be facilitated virtually, via Zoom. Rebound, a free 6-part program is being offered with the support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Resilient Communities Fund.

Volunteer Recruitment and Retention Chalk Talk 
Community sport organizations have had to adapt existing volunteer recruitment and retention practices to deal with the realities of the pandemic. Given 73% of Ottawa community sport organizations are volunteer run, volunteer management is critical to ensure that organizations remain viable.

Facilitated by Dina Bell-Laroche of the Sport Law and Strategy Group, the Volunteer Recruitment and Retention CHALK TALK will guide participants in the development of creative solutions to govern, lead and manage community sport organizations in a post pandemic reality. Participants will leave with enhanced volunteer management strategies and practices that support the recovery and regrowth of their community sport organization.

What’s on the agenda:
• Learn more about the current state of volunteer recruitment and retention in community sport as a result of the ongoing pandemic
• Explore key volunteer recruitment concepts including the 5 R’s – recruit, retain, re-train, reward, and retire
• Discuss innovative strategies to navigate volunteer recruitment in our current environment and moving forward

Registration:
During the Volunteer Recruitment and Retention Chalk Talk, we will be inviting open conversation among participants. To ensure all participants have the opportunity to share their experiences, registration will be limited to 20 participants. The Chalk Talk will be conducted via Zoom meeting with use of breakout rooms, open discussion, and other virtual meeting tools.

This is a free virtual event. Please register below.

Date: April 20
Time: 8:30-15:00 with a break for lunch (12:00 to 13:00)
