- The accuracy of the 2010 volunteers and volunteer hours has been achieved through an amended web-based Volunteer Reporting System, and complies with mandatory state and Workers’ Compensation Insurance reporting requirements. Volunteer Coordinators have also had a significant role in reporting accurate volunteer counts.
