People Are Committed Right Up Until The Moment They Leave

They are.

So have you asked your volunteers how they're doing?

Lately?

Because we've given them only two choices:

Keep doing what they're doing to avoid the appearance of backsliding.

Or leave.

And by the time they tell you, it's too late for you to do anything about it.

So ask them.

Now.

Especially the ones who are serving every week.

Wise words...

Just wrote a similar post on how we either value or devalue someone's service: http://blog.visionnavigator.com/2008/09/how-to-value-someones-service.html

We'd all do well to show appreciation for folks who give of their time and talent

[joy]

this is so timely...
