About Karen Knight
Over 30 Years Experience
I have been providing volunteer recruitment, engagement and training for social impact organisations for over 30 years.
My professional life has spanned many industries, working in both the private and public sectors in various leadership positions.
Through my passion for making a difference in the world, I have gained decades of experience in social impact organisations as a volunteer, a leader and a board member.
I served in Toastmasters International for over twenty-five years, in various roles up to District Director, where I was responsible for one of the largest Toastmasters districts in the world.
There, I had twenty leaders reporting directly to me, and another eighty reporting to them. We were all volunteers.
After many years working and volunteering with social impact organisations, I found that many leaders of volunteers struggle with certain aspects of their volunteer programs, whether that be in recruiting the right people, or assigning those people to roles that both support the organisation’s mission and keep the volunteers enthusiastic.
Using my decades of hands-on experience, combined with the extensive studying and research I have completed in the field of volunteer recruitment, engagement and training, I help solve these challenges.
