I also think failure to spell out and measure impact measurement?

01:02:40	Annelise Ferry:	The question: “I love how you said someone said "Invite leadership to my table not wait for them to welcome you to their table." Could you give small, tangible ways that we could do to accomplish this? We want leadership to help message how important volunteers are and how they are a part of our team. Ideas on how to approach our CEO? We meet with department directors quarterly and try to bring things up in staff meetings but it's better coming from leadership."
