I think it's helpful for people on the recruitment side to take the time to conduct worthwhile and probing interviews. Retaining volunteers is rooted in the recruitment process. Knowing things like the fact that you don't like to have someone tell you what to do, and knowing the motives behind your volunteering are critical parts of placing you as a volunteer. By the way, I'm glad that being a featured writer on this blog fits your skills (and is logistically feasible for you)-it's great to have you on the "team". Penny,
