• An advanced track of workshops in Volunteer Management for those who want to continue upgrading their skills in that area. 
  
• A forum session and a series of workshops on working with grant-making institutions. This series was developed as a result of the response to the regional philanthropy workshops offered in Seattle and Philadelphia.  
• A forum session and a series of workshops on Corporate pro bono services or the use of “skilled volunteers.”
• A series of workshops on social media, technology tools, and other emerging practices and trends in recruiting and using volunteers as strategic human resources.
