Attracting and Managing Volunteers: A Parish Handbook is designed as a planning/implementing resource for people who need to manage parish volunteers effectively. Using a narrative from a fictional parish and its efforts to improve volunteerism among its membership, this book asks its readers to "imagine a parish" with all the volunteer resources. It asks the question, How do we evaluate, communicate, and motivate these volunteers? Additional questions raised include how to manage volunteers on inter-parish collaborative projects, how to deal with the inevitable conflicts and how to be a stronger, smarter, and more effective leader.
