Best of All: The Quick Reference Guide To Effective Volunteer Involvement
by Linda Graff (2005)
Format: Ring-bound paperback
Price: NZD$47.00
Reader’s Review:
Excerpts from a book review by Donna Lockhart, The RETHINK GROUP
“As a College Instructor, I have never put a “textbook” on the curriculum outline for The Certificate for Volunteer Management. The simple reason being – I could not find a resource that was both generic and inclusive. I’ve changed my mind. After reviewing Linda Graff’s new resource “Best of All”, I have decided to recommend it as THE resource for my students for a number of reasons.
Linda’s resource is practical but also stimulating. Linda’s world experience is shared and highlighted with Key Ideas or Leadership Tips and the How to Tables make it easy to focus on a specific area that needs improvement. Resource lists at the end of each chapter are particularly helpful if you just want to focus on that topic and make improvements to your volunteer program.”

Readers’ Reviews:
“For someone who had to assume the role of creating policies for an organization that previously only had one volunteer (me!), this was a gift from heaven!”
– Charles Franklin, Museum Africa, Executive Vice-President, Chicago IL
“I have been working with the Will County Health Department to develop a volunteer program for their phar
maceutical dispensing program. Your texts have been great resources. Having a background in risk management and graduate degrees in healthcare risk management and disaster management, I appreciate the risk management elements of your materials. Also, the guidance you provide for organizing and directing format for a volunteer program have been invaluable to me.”

Readers’ Reviews:
“Linda Graff has done it again! Better Safe… takes risk management from the bottom of the too-hard-basket and instead offers readers a ‘tool box’ full of great ideas, easy to understand principles, checklists and clear illustrations.
