recognition, and reporting—often with limited time and resources. In this 1-hour, beginner-friendly session, Karin Henderson, CVA, will walk you through the essentials so you can feel more organized, productive, and in control of your volunteer program. Whether
you’re brand new to volunteer management or you’ve “fallen into” the role, you’ll leave with a clear starting point and practical next steps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif">Library leaders can face some thorny problems when managing organizational change. This is particularly true at institutions with a long-established workplace
culture who aim to make effective change across departments. Sometimes, we tend to forget when undertaking difficult projects that you don’t have to have an overly serious attitude when undertaking serious tasks. Bringing in creativity and play can open minds
to break outside of established ways of thinking and doing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Aptos Display",sans-serif">In this webinar, two department heads from the University of Central Florida Libraries will share how they developed a series of fun and interactive activities
to develop a new divisional structure across departments to encourage collaboration and shared decision-making. Instead of leading with a pre-defined structure for the organizational change, existing challenges were used as a starting point for the conversation
and change management. The activities helped cultivate an open mind set to ensure participants felt empowered to be co-creators in innovative solutions. Webinar attendees will be provided with an overview of the process, considerations to develop these activities
within their own contexts, and example activities participants can take to their own organizations to help foster collaboration on difficult issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
