Working for a board of volunteers can be great… but it can also be very difficult.
In this week’s CampHacker podcast we are joined by Dave Bell, Executive Director of Camping Services from the Seattle Y. His work there and in North Carolina has involved working with many different kinds of camp boards.
We talked this week about how to get good board members, who is in charge of recruiting?, what responsibilities does a board have? and how we, as directors can get the most benefit from our camp boards.
How do you make sure your camp board is effective at managing their responsibilities at your camp? ?
