First impressions matter big time. Your first meeting tells your team: What kind of leader you are. What it's going to be like to work with you. If they will have a valuable time. Based on this first experience, your team members will decide what kind of priority to give to volunteering with you. Join us on June 18th to learn how to give your team a strong start.
