Who's Next? Building the Volunteers Who Will Build the Future
Every agricultural society and fair board eventually faces the same question: Who's next?
Succession isn't about replacing today's volunteers—it's about creating tomorrow's leaders before you need them. This engaging and practical session explores how organizations can attract new volunteers, bridge generations, develop future board members, and create a culture where people want to stay involved.
Discover why committees are the "secret sauce" of successful organizations, how mentorship transforms volunteers into leaders, and how intentional planning creates a legacy that grows stronger with every generation. Whether your organization has three volunteers or three hundred, you'll leave with practical ideas to recruit, retain, mentor, and inspire the people who will carry your fair into the future.
