Here is an idea whose time has come: Older adults with significant management and professional experience recruited to assist community organizations with leadership level projects that help those organizations meet their missions. This is the message that Southern Maine Agency on Aging (SMAA) is sharing with the community in a series of forums. Join us at our office on November 5 to learn more about SMAA's Capacity Corps model program. This unique approach brought talented senior volunteers with professional and managerial experience into the agency and resulted in significant contributions to the organization. SMAA is sharing their successful experience and ways for other organizations to benefit from such a model of significant service. Ken Murray, Director of RSVP and Volunteer Services will share SMAA's journey from receipt of a National Council on Aging grant to recruiting older professional adults to the results they achieved. Among them, a new strategic plan, an accounting manual, a new planned giving program, and an improved system for providing Meals on Wheels. This community forum is open to executive directors, directors of volunteers and adults with management and professional experience interested in participating as volunteers. Come learn about the gifts that older volunteers can offer to community organizations and how SMAA and United Way of York County can help you connect with them.   RSVP To Ken Murray at KMurray@SMAAA.org or 207-396-6520.
