Defining Development

Submitted by heather.zeoli on Wed, 08/24/2016 - 12:14

The other day we had a question from a colleague about the difference between Development and Volunteer Services (DVS) and Organizational Development for Metro Library. How can we simply explain the difference? Development and Volunteer Services is about developing financial resources beyond tax dollars in order to help our libraries grow. We also develop relationships through volunteers and the community to support our libraries.
