More Than Thanks: Engagement, Recognition and the Volunteer Experience Volunteers don’t stay because of systems. They stay because of experiences. This interactive morning brings volunteer leaders together to explore what truly shapes engagement, recognition and the overall volunteer experience, from the first welcome to the moments that matter most.
Featuring insights from Cindel Richardson, the 2025 Queensland Excellence in Volunteer Management Award recipient, this session blends inspiration with practical conversation, and creates space to learn from others navigating similar challenges. Expect honest dialogue, shared wisdom, and tangible ideas you can take back to your organisation immediately.
