Writing My New Book

Joni is a wife, mother and pioneer of new-age volunteer management. She discovered her passion after accepting a job in a multi-million dollar state-of-the-art hospital. Everything around her was world class except one little thing: the volunteer department. As the Director of Volunteer Services, Joni saw an opportunity to reinvent the program and ask herself, with the decades of changes in healthcare, why on earth had the responsibilities of volunteers stayed the same?

After realizing what a talented, passionate and brilliant volunteer team she had right under her nose, Joni set out to create programs that allow volunteers to lend their expertise for free while benefitting the hospital in ways no one ever thought possible. Joni’s programs transformed volunteerism in her facility, causing both clinical staff and C-level executives to ask themselves the question, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

Joni holds bachelor’s degrees in communication studies and public relations. With over a decade of experience in both for-profit and nonprofit businesses, she has managed volunteers in multiple capacities, even volunteering herself. This led her to find an antiquated volunteer system that demanded change in order to meet the unique needs of today’s organizations. Her system saves hospitals millions of dollars each year.
