Volunteer Executive Conference entitled
"The Important Business of Running Your
• Non -Profit Organization".•
• This conference is being hosted by the
Lake Huron Zone Recreationists' :Associa-
tion at the Walkerton District Secondary
School on Saturday, September 28 from 8:30

Bruce, Huron, Perth and North Wellington.
Counties: • •,
• The conference was originally; conceived
by Goderich Recreation Director Jane Net-
zke in response to requests from volunteer
executive members in that town.
"They (the executive r-riernbers) wanted
more training in running their groups so we
organized some smallworkshops for them,"
says Netzke.
• Following these local workshops, Netzke
approached the Lake Huron Zone Associa-
• tion with the idea that executive members in
• other communities might be interested in
• such training as well. The 40 -member
Association; which consists of recreation
personnel in the Lake Huron area, gave Net-
• zke the go-ahead to plan a day -long
• centrally -located conference.
With the aid'of a Ministry of Tourism and
Recreation grant and the assistance of
Walkerton ,Recreation Director Dick Car-
' rnichael and Hanover Recreation Director
• Mike Dunlop, Netzke began organizing the
conference back in JanuEiry. She started by
haying each recreation director in the Lake
Huron Zone send out a survey to all the non-
profit organizations in their respective
/ areas. The topics to be covered at the con-
• ference are based on the responses received
from this survey.
These topics include the following:
"Leading and Managing the Organization"
•' by Jill MacMillan, Consulting Company,
Toronto; "Fund-raising" by Nancy Biggar,
• Ministry of Citizenship , and Culture, Lon-
don; "Finding and Keeping Volunteers" by
Kathy Wiele, Lifetime Congulting Inc., Coll-
• ingwood; "Communication • Skills" • by
• Sylvia Balfour, You Can Workshops Inc.,
Cambridge; "Liability and the Volunteer
• Executive" by Brian Linley, Reichenbach
• and Linley, Walkerton; "Motivation" by
Neville Clark, Director of Industrial Rela-
tions, Mississauga Hydro; "Budget
Preparation and Fiscal Management" by •
Bob 'Wilkinson, accountant, Hanover;
"Planning Effective Meetings" by Melanie
• McLaughlin, Ministry of Tourism and
Recreation, Hanover; and "Time Manage-
ment", again by Sylvia Balfour. •
The keynote address, entitled "The
Challenge to the Volunteer Executive", will
be given by Bud Bittow of the Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation, Hanover.
• Netike is hoping for about 100 participants
.at the conference and has extended the
• deadline for application • to Friday,
September 20. She feels the conference will
give volunteer executive members a unique
opportunity to hear professionals from all
over Ontario address their needs.
"We' hope to provide information and '.
• resources to: community volunteers to im-
'ptove their effectiveness in their organiza-
tions," she conchides.
