George Torok is media friendly News Release: For Immediate Use How can volunteers get more done in these tough times? Teach them to fish. Hamilton, ON - August 18, 2009: Charities and nonprofit associations are invisible victims of hard times. Why? Because failed fund raisers and declining memberships don't grab attention. It's tough to compete with employee layoffs and business bankruptcies. Charities and associations need to do even more with less just to hold their ground. They need to deliver their message with greater impact and effectiveness. They can continue to recruit, motivate and persuade if they present their message more effectively. How can volunteers transform their presentation skills? Volunteers and staff of local charities and nonprofit associations are invited to attend a presentation skills training workshop sponsored by Bay Gardens and featuring local presentation skills specialist George Torok. One of the benefits of volunteering is to improve your people skills. But, quality training is not often available. This opportunity is for local volunteers to transform their presentation skills and feel re-energized at the right time and right price.
