Delivered in partnership with AMaGA, this workshop is designed to provide practical guidance about fostering and maximising historical societies biggest asset – their volunteers.

Our main speaker, Paul Fearon, will provide a ‘primer’ on principles and techniques in leading and retaining effective teams of volunteers. We have all had experience of volunteers who can be both a society’s biggest asset but also their biggest liability.

Throughout the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, share their experiences, and learn from one another. By the end of the workshop, participants will have the knowledge and tools necessary to effectively manage volunteers and the different personalities within their historical society.
