Volunteers cannot be fired, but it is possible they can be assigned to a different position the next year or not return at all.

From my experience at CMP, I would say about 90% of the volunteers were pleasant to work with, 9% were extraordinarily wonderful to work with, .9% had their moments, and .1% were in the needs improvement category. Not perfect, but pretty darn close. I'd apply the same percentages to the teams we were working for.

Feedback like we are seeing on these threads is good, it gives a chance to evaluate what we have done right and wrong and provides an opportunity for improvement. It's healthy and appreciated.
