Abstract:

The old volunteer-professional relationship, in which volunteer leaders set policy that professionals then implemented, is no longer as effective. Today's challenges demand that volunteers and professionals act as co-equal partners. An increasing number of volunteer leaders are moving to the other side of the relationship and assuming professional positions.
