Too many meetings and your volunteers will bail because you demand too much time. Too few and they will bail because they think to don't care. I'll post a follow-up to this topic tomorrow with tips on how to manage quarterly meetings. Andrew,

I know I should have at least quarterly meetings with my volunteers, but some years I have none at all. In part this comes from my feeling of being stretched too thin, as we touched on a couple weeks ago at http://www.volunteercentered.com/2010/01/20/the-economy-and-the-church-too-few-leaders/. I have too much concern over my volunteers' time. And I'm otherwise lacking either the desire or dedication to prepare for and call the meeting. I'd appreciate any additional encouragement and advice that you have in that regard in future posts. My problem is that I hold too few meetings, almost none at all.
