The Pros and Cons of Running an Association on Volunteer Power
If you lead a professional association, community club, or grassroots non-profit, you know the drill: your budget is tightly managed, your mission is ambitious, and your to-do list is endless. To get things done, you rely heavily on the ultimate lifeblood of the independent sector—volunteers.
Depending on volunteers to run your association is a classic double-edged sword. While it keeps your doors open, it also introduces unique operational hurdles that can stall your growth.
At NewPath Consulting, we help membership-based organizations streamline their operations. Let’s dive into the major positive and negative consequences of a volunteer-dependent model—and how you can use smart automation to strike the perfect balance.
