Journal of Volunteer Administration, v17 n4 Sum 1999 v18 n1 p14-20 Fall 1999

A survey of 22 agency directors and 219 volunteer board members showed that 40% of members received 1-5 hours of training in the last 6 months, 47% none. Training needs included board roles and responsibilities, strategic planning, understanding the agency, and fundraising. Preferred methods were facilitated workshop/retreat or board-led training sessions. (SK)
