Meet Meghan Arrigo, the Western Regional Program Director of Girls For A Change.  When Meghan found herself needing to take on the management of about 50 volunteers, she discovered a surprise bonus with the America Learns Network. “The surprise was that America Learns is an amazing resource for staff when you have a staff person in transition -- so either when a staff person leaves or when you bring a new staff member on board." Click here to listen to a quick discussion we had with Meghan about the ways she used the Network to maintain GFC’s highest program quality standards during the staff transition period.   The following is a brief summary of what you’re listening to. How Meghan used the Network to help herself in her new volunteer management role: Saved her time Saved other resources Helped her to maintain program quality and integrity Helped her to preserve GFC’s high touch volunteer management and support model How Meghan used the Network to benefit volunteers during the transition process: Facilitated a seamless transition from the previous volunteer manager to herself Didn’t have to ask volunteers to spend time updating her about progress to date "Volunteers have been so pleased with the transition because I've been able to just jump in.  I haven't had to have them give me a lot of history of what's going on because I had the information at my fingertips." You go, Meghan!  Keep up the awesome work.
