Like the rest of the world, COVID-19 has had far reaching impacts for Rosterfy and our clients. With numerous clients forced to postpone or cancel their events, organizations are being challenged to think outside the box and come up with new ways of thinking to ensure that the longevity of their brand, event and/or cause is sustained throughout this pandemic.

For this webinar we were delighted to host Zara Lawless, CEO, Mother's Day Classic Foundation and Sarah Clements, General Manager, Mother's Day Classic Foundation to discuss the far reaching impacts of COVID-19 and their bold decision to go virtual. Alongside Rosterfy's Co Founder, Shannan Gove, Zara and Sarah discussed their bold decision to become one of the first events in Australia to go virtual and the challenges and opportunities that this presented. During this webinar we also took a closer look at tools for engaging your volunteer workforce digitally to ensure that they remain a pivotal part of your event.

Keeping volunteers engaged continues to be one of the biggest challenges for any Volunteer Manager.

For our first webinar, we caught up with Paula Bonaccorsi, National Volunteer Manager, Starlight Children's Foundation Australia. Hosted by Rosterfy's Co Founder, Bennett Merriman, Paula took us through the impacts of COVID-19 within the charity and not for profit sector and the importance of new ways of thinking when it comes to engaging and retaining their volunteers.

With everything that’s currently going on in the world, the importance of communication to remain social and engaged is critical - this needs to include our family of volunteers. 

Dear Friends of Rosterfy,

Late last year, Rosterfy Co Founder and Director, Shannan Gove caught up with Josh Van Kampen on his podcast ‘Leadership in Sport’ to talk about the evolution of Rosterfy, working at one of the world’s largest events; The Super Bowl and the importance of placing value on your volunteers. 

The need for effective emergency management is now critical. With natural disasters becoming an all too familiar occurrence, communities and governing bodies worldwide are feeling the effects of climate change with land savaged, homes destroyed and our precious wildlife seeing countless losses. 

Australia is on fire. 

How leading Universities like Colorado State and Ohio are redefining student engagement

Engaging Volunteer Workforces

Colleges and university campuses have always been a hotbed of volunteerism. Whether mandated by curriculums, as a way of driving important social connections or a mixture of both, volunteering is a way of life for students. 

With more than one million annual race participants and an annual roster of 250-plus events, Spartan Race has rapidly grown from humble beginnings to become the world's largest obstacle course race, endurance, and lifestyle brand.
