Overview
The recruiting, retaining and recognising of volunteers is vital to the survival of sport associations and not-for-profit organisations. This one-day seminar draws together a comprehensive approach to volunteer management practices through contemporary
research and a sound understanding of human resource management. The seminar has been designed by a team of researchers
and practitioners with a long history of volunteer management involvement in sport. Innovative
outcomes from a recent Australian Research Council grant conducted in collaboration with a national sporting
organisation will be workshopped at the seminar.
