I think the point is that, as volunteer managers, we have to be aware of the needs of the volunteers - the mission and vision of the organization - and put it together to make a match.

The past generation was very forgiving if they weren’t in a position they wanted to be in - they seemed to accept it. Today, that is not the case. There are too many choices, too much going on so people are not willing to make a commitment - just to be committed to something. There is a commercial out now about commitment - don’t like the wife, find a new one - don’t like your job - find a new one - don’t like your nose - change it. It’s so true.

Sharing of ideas and experiences with various volunteers’ ages really helps me a lot.

Thank you
