The UNH Speakers Bureau coordinated two statewide conferences in May attended
by faculty and staff from both the Durham and Manchester campuses.
On May 13, UNH was represented at the Governor’s Conference on Volunteerism
in Concord. This annual event, managed by VolunteerNH!, is designed to bring
together professionals and volunteers from the non-profit, government, faith-based,
and private sectors.
Participants learn, enhance, and develop skills and increase their understanding
of the volunteer network throughout NH. This outstanding event offers more
than 30 workshops ranging from volunteer administration and management, to
technological aspects that will assist non-profits in recruiting volunteers.
The theme for this year’s conference was Time, Energy & Talents:
Volunteerism in NH. UNH was represented by, among others, Dan Innis, dean of
WSBE, who spoke on “The Dynamics Affecting the Northern New England Economy”;
Erika Mantz, director of Media Relations who presented “Promoting Your
Organization and Its Events in the Media”; Ann Reid who presented “Talents,
Tasks, and Tide: Volunteering for water quality monitoring”; and Ginger
Lever, director of Marketing and Community Relations at UNH Manchester, who
presented “Strategic Marketing and Communication for Non-Profits.”

On May 29, UNH Speakers Bureau members participated in the 8th Annual Conference
on Aging sponsored by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services.
Gathering with 750 conference participants in Manchester were Dennis Bobilya,
Joanne Curran-Celentano and Colette Janson-Sand, all from the department of
animal and nutritional science. They spoke to seniors and senior care professionals
from around the state on the topics of dietary supplements, nutrition for prolonged
vision and the role of nutrition in combating the common illnesses of aging.
Also participating in the conference were Jerilee Zezula of the Thompson School
of Applied Science who explored the role of pet ownership in aging, and Marianne
Fortescue and Louise Ewing of the Office of Community Service and Learning,
and Career and Advising Services, respectively, who spoke to conference goers
on options for “second careers” – how to utilize skills,
hobbies, volunteer activities and educational experiences outside of the traditional
careers that defined them.
