Breaking Down Silos to Recruit, Retain, and Reignite Volunteer Engagement
Published April 21, 2026
Let’s face it – SILOs (Separate Interests with Limited Outcomes) are holding us back. In our teams. In our systems. In our communities. But what if you had the tools to break down those barriers and build bridges that spark real, lasting connection?
Join this webinar to explore practical strategies for breaking down silos and strengthening trust to recruit, retain, and reignite volunteer engagement. This presentation will guide you through the TRUST framework – Truth, Reliability, Understanding, Synergy, and lead to Thriving – a powerful approach to reignite volunteer passion, strengthen collaboration, and improve retention. Together, these elements lay the foundation for a culture where volunteers, community members, and team members feel genuinely valued, consistently supported, and inspired to contribute in meaningful ways.
Speaker: Kelly Novak, MS, CAVS | Community Relations & Volunteer Manager, TidalHealth
