The following suggestions were taken from a workshop presented at General Assembly 2004 in Long Beach, CA, by Wayne Clark, UUA (Unitarian Universalist Association) director of Congregational Fundraising Services:

• To be carefully interviewed and appropriately matched to a meaningful role.

• To receive training and supervision to enable them to be successful in their role.

• To receive recognition in a way that is meaningful to them.

• To be regarded as persons of uniqueness; more than just a body in a chair.

• To be accepted as a valuable member of a team.
