Scam of the Month: Keeping Kids SafeMany of us see our online lives and offline lives as different. But for children growing up with technology and the internet, there isn’t a difference – online life and offline life are just life. Technology can move at an extraordinarily fast pace. So it can be difficult to know how to start talking to your child about what they’re doing online, who they might be speaking to, or discussing the potential risks and issues.

PM Musings Leading Volunteers with FORCE by William A Moylan, PhD, PMP, FESD, DTM P
One of the greatest management and leadership challenges is leading volunteers effectively and efficiently. Volunteers, so it seems, don’t listen to orders, do whatever they want on their own schedule, and can leave at any time, all because they are not paid. However, it is said that volunteers and volunteerism is America at its best. Harnessing the power of volunteers and volunteerism can be transformational for any organization if FORCE is applied appropriately. This article will address an appropriate way to lead volunteers with FORCE and achieve great results. The first step in leading volunteers is to be Flexible. People volunteer because they want to be part of something they believe in and make a difference. Providing a variety of opportunities to participate and contribute, affording the volunteers the freedom and control to decide how they choose to be involved, is essential. Being flexible in both what the volunteer will do and in allowing flexibility in how to achieve the desired results is an intrinsic element in leading volunteers To learn more, read the full article HERE Welcome New Members & Congratulations on Milestone Anniversaries Congratulations to members on their milestone anniversaries this month.
