Volunteer diversity. The key to a successful event with Tami Richter The Engaged Volunteer Podcast

Meet Tami Richter - Director of Events, Volunteers, Staffing and Resources at one of the world’s biggest events, SXSW.

A proud Texan, Tami started her journey with SXSW 18 years ago as a volunteer and has never looked back.

On this episode of the podcast, Tami takes us through her top tips for managing volunteers from educating stakeholders through to valuing and rewarding your volunteers including the need for being open to criticism and change to ensure that you and your volunteers are getting the most out of your volunteer management program.

As one of the first events cancelled as a result of COVID-19, Tami also discusses the ways in which SXSW are remaining engaged with their volunteers including introducing them to broader opportunities within the community.
