The Volunteer Leadership series, established
in 1977, is designed to document
the accomplishments of selected Bay Area men and women, in many cases
persons with business and professional careers, who have worked through
nonprofit organizations to improve the quality of life in their communities.
Interviews with both lay and professional leaders provide rich material
for understanding the nature and impact of volunteer activity.
The Volunteer Leadership Series studies the origins
of individual dedication to voluntary endeavors, and the processes
by which private, nonprofit groups bring about change in a community's
social and cultural institutions. The focus of the interviews is
twofold: the personal background and principles of memoirists, and
the founding and internal workings of specific volunteer organizations
and issues with which they have been involved.
