I was reflecting the other day about how my career has progressed and I began to realize that I have volunteered my way into nearly every position I have held. I would find an organization that captured my interest and begin volunteering to help them accomplish their vision. Over time I would become a meaningful part of the team and eventually be asked if I would consider a position there. So as you wrestle through leadership and staffing issues keep the volunteer satisfaction construct at the front of your radar. Who knows, maybe you are already working alongside your next hire.
