Re-spark the Fire and Keep it Burning

All organizations get to a point of saturation for volunteers, members, and staff, and can easily burn out. How do you keep the fire in the belly of the organization and the people who are a part of it? How can you re-spark the dying flames and empower the masses, not just a few dedicated souls? Hear from a 10-year veteran of the Main Street Approach on how you can re-energize your organization and sustain it for the long-haul.
