Praise for Recruiting and Training Fundraising Volunteers

"Linda Lysakowski brings into focus the realities of enlisting
volunteers to ensure success in a campaign. She clearly outlines
logical steps that lead to inspiring passion in the volunteer, who
is so essential to reaching a goal. I wish such a comprehensive
treatise had been available to me forty years ago!"

--Milton Murray, Director Emeritus Philanthropic Service for
Institutions Adventist World Headquarters (Silver Spring,
Maryland)

"It was a pleasure to read Ms. Lysakowski's book, which outlines
the roles of volunteers in the art of fundraising. Linda has woven
the guidance of the great masters of philanthropy and volunteer
management partnered with her extensive life experience. This is a
must-have resource for development officers and nonprofit
leadership essential for both volunteers and management. I
especially liked the 'In the Real World' examples of concepts in
action that could be implemented locally."

--Ann H. Moffitt, CFRE, Vice President of Community Development
Keystone Human Services, and CEO, Keystone Partnership (Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania)

"Research and practice tell us that organizations that engage
volunteers in fundraising have more sustained success, even in
tough times. This book is a substantive contribution to the
literature of volunteer fundraisers, and it reminds us of the
honorable role of volunteers in fundraising, even in this time of
the growing professionalization of staff fundraising."
