Creating Effective Member-Supervisor Relationships

Change lives and impact communities

Effective member-supervisor relationships can change lives and impact communities. When a member and supervisor click, both parties feel engaged and excited about their work. The community benefits and goals are met.

But not all member supervisor pairings are a good match. Even veteran supervisors have members they struggle to communicate with. Or disagree over values.
