There are plenty of associations and other nonprofits that choose not to spend their members'/donors' money on volunteers -- that becomes part of the volunteer commitment.<BR/><BR/>Taking your experience a little bit further, though, it also sounds like poor communication as much as anything. Perhaps an org would usually pay for the transportation, but they are now being forced to cut back in many ways to deal with the recession. A communication several weeks before a meeting that detailed some of the sacrifices the org was making and then adding that volunteers to the meeting would need to travel together from the airport, would, in my opinion, have shown the proper respect toward volunteers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
