Meridian Swift was hired for her first Volunteer Manager job in 1995 because she was “nice.”
Since that day, she earned the CVA accreditation in 2005, has won several volunteer program awards, and has presented workshops on the state and national levels. She poured her passion for elevating volunteer programs into authoring two books, The Volunteer Shelf Life and The Disruptive Volunteer Manager. She has blogged on her website, VolunteerPlainTalk.com, since 2011, and has also participated with wonderful guests on the VolunteerPlainTalk podcast, available on most podcast outlets.
Swift volunteers for the Engage journal and is a Board member of the National Association of Long-Term Care Volunteers.
