Encore Talent Works offers a wealth of information…but sometimes you need help on a specific issue. We’ve recruited an experienced team of volunteers to provide e-mail support on:
- Fellowships – what models have people experimented with, what makes for a successful Fellowship program, where do you go to recruit Fellows?
- Janet Shaw is the New York Program Director for the Encore Fellowships Network
- Encores in government – how do you make the case for encore roles in government, what are the success factors?
- Beverly Burns led the Michigan Encore Executives in Residence program as an Encore Innovation Fellow.
- Hiring encore talent, particularly from the private sector – how do you assess transferable skills, commitment and cultural fit; what are the key steps to integrate experienced talent with existing staff?
- David Garvey is Director, University of Connecticut Nonprofit Leadership Program and Adjunct Professor.
- Encores in schools, grades K to 3 – how do you make the case, fund, recruit encore candidates and manage a school-based program?
- Peggy Goldberg is Volunteer Advisor, AARP Foundation Experience Corps
- Other questions
- Betsy Werley is Director, Network Expansion, Encore.org and project manager for Encore Talent Works
