Editor's Notes
Here’s the problem – the old model doesn’t fit!
• It ignores the reality of generational differences.
• It handcuffs organizational decision-making.
• It limits opportunities for involvement.
• It ignores the time/flexibility needs.
Will quickly speak to our department’s structure, fact that we have other staff who are responsible for volunteer management.
Will speak to the fact that we’re able to have staff assigned and many resources because of PMI’s commitment to volunteerism. Core value added in 2011.
State that PMI’s volunteer engagement model is based on a foundation of the relationships we have with our volunteers. Volunteers are also members, credential holders, donors, advocates, etc. Everyone is responsible for interaction with volunteers.
Breakdown of 8-10K volunteers globally.
Breakdown of three categories of those serve on behalf of PMI globally
Recruitment tool: VRMS. All global PMI roles are recruited through VRMS so they can be tracked, volunteers can be recognized, etc. Global chapters are encouraged to use the system.

Animations to walk through the volunteer profile
Usage of system since launch in 2012. 60,000 people have updated profiles manually, indicating an interest in volunteers. Survey of sample shows they’re interested in all types of volunteering, long-term, short-term, in person, virtual, etc. We work with staff to find ways to get people engaged since there is so much interest.
