Key Measurements
Evidence of expanded volunteer leadership in key strategic areas: Healthcare Marketing, Advocacy/Public Policy, Development, Strategic Board/Foundation/Advisor and Communications.
Evidence of strategic volunteer roles resulting in significant cost savings (i.e. key leadership role in a fundraiser or other critical business area).
A new placement will be considered a volunteer that is new to a CC strategic position, a volunteer that moves from one strategic role to another, or a current volunteer who takes on an additional strategic position.
