I hope along the way that we also get into discussions about:
1) How to deal with the politics within the politics (a.k.a. 'Mean People Suck and We've Got To Deal With Em') 2) Low-cost/No-cost volunteer recognition ideas (how to gather volunteers and keep them)
Looking forward to learning some new stuff!

Some ideas on low cost / no cost volunteer recognition. Never pass up a chance to say thank you or good job. Be empathetic - i.e. "I know you work a full time job and still find the time to canvass, we appreciate your dedication."
Send personal thank you notes, get a calendar with their birthdays and send birthday cards, include them on your christmas card list. You can also recognize their efforts at meetings or a County events.
Help them see a bigger picture and ask them about their opinions. Many Dems that attend meetings for the first time or volunteer, want to talk. If they only attend a meeting with an agenda and roberts rules and then are given a call list with a script.... they might not feel like it was a very fulfilling experience.
