you ever take a look at your huge group of volunteers and wonder how you're
supposed to give meaningful feedback to everyone of them with your ever

found out if she was doing her show right or lose another because he thought
the only time you ever told him anything about his show was to correct him? Come
learn how to conduct a simple volunteer training where you'll empower your
volunteers to do the listening for you! Learn how to set up the training,
get useful handouts and walk away with everything you need to conduct a Peer
Review Training at your station. Conducted by Marjorie Williams, Minds
