Gracious Professionalism is Key • At FIRST, Gracious Professionalism has become an expectation. • We expect it from our students, from the Mentors and Coaches, from all FIRST Volunteers and from FIRST Staff. • It is part of the ethos of FIRST. “In the long run, gracious professionalism is part of pursuing a meaningful life. If one becomes a professional, and uses knowledge in a gracious manner, everyone wins. One can add to society and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you have acted with integrity and sensitivity. That’s good stuff!” – Dr. Woodie Flowers, FIRST National Advisor FIRST Training Resource – Volunteers
Gracious Professionalism is Key Encouraging high-quality work + Emphasizing the value of others + Respecting individuals and the community EVERYONE WINS! FIRST Training Resource – Volunteers
Lead Volunteer Communication With your team of volunteers: – As a Lead Volunteer you are a LEADER. – Lead Volunteers must communicate with the Volunteer Coordinator(s) to get names and begin communicating with their team as soon as possible via e mail etc. – As a team leader, you must communicate with your volunteers to create a sense of a team and teamwork. – By doing so, questions can be answered in advance, comfort levels increased, and miscellaneous information gotten out of the way. – There should be no surprises when you get together with your volunteer team at the event. FIRST Training Resource – Volunteers
Lead Volunteer Communication With the other lead volunteers at your event: – Take the opportunity to meet with other lead volunteers and discuss your expectations. – Discuss overlapping areas of responsibility and decide on how issues in these areas should be handled. – Clarify each others roles BEFORE a problem arises. – Make sure everyone understands the non-medical incident report (new in 2008).
