Volunteers
Many members of the NLP community over the last thirty five years have wanted a research component added to its formal operations. The first marketing campaign conducted in 2007 yielded 600 volunteers from all over the world.
New volunteers continue to join the project, demonstrating the tremendous interest the project has inspired. The NLP Research & Recognition is, in no small measure, about dedicated people working together toward community goals.
The wealth of talents and energy reflected in the volunteers already on board is extraordinary. Their registrations represent a huge cost effective asset to the Project’s operation.
A Volunteer Coodinator, Gene Plotkin (see bio information under Communications & Networking Team), joined the project in May 2009. He will following-up with those who have volunteered and will ask many of these volunteers to serve in operational areas and project developments.
The Advisory Board and Volunteers from the NLP community have been asked to submit resumes and support letters from themselves and their personal networks reflecting the classes of helpers from business, academia, politics, research, etc that the project needs.
These letters and resumes constitute the core strength of the initial Grant applications. As Grant proposals are made, the substantive skills necessary to do the job will be reflected with support letters and resumes. It isn’t much of a leap of faith on the Grant awarders’ part that with monies provided the projects supporters could accomplish the stated goals.
