The Fayette Chamber of Commerce Non-Profit Council will hold its first quarterly meeting of 2024 on March 5, 2024, at The Chamber Meeting Place in Fayetteville. We are excited to have guest speaker, Caroline Creel with Southern Conservation Trust to talk about Volunteer Management. Make the most out of your volunteer program .  Learn how to recruit, empower, engage, retain and recognize your volunteers.  The volunteer ratio formula, what's that?

Caroline grew up in Fayette County in the small town of Woolsey in south Fayetteville. After graduating from Starr’s Mill High School Caroline attended Gordon State College in Barnesville, GA, graduating in 2009 with a Bachelor of Science in Education.

After several rounds of interviews and eliminations, Caroline was accepted to Fayette County Chamber's "Leadership Fayette'' program and graduated in May of 2022. She is currently working on her Master’s degree in Nonprofit Leadership and Management at Arizona State University.
