Election of new Directors for the AL!VE Board Kathryn Hampton, CVA AL!VE Regional Representation: Upper West Region With 18 years of volunteer management experience, Kathryn began with the Idaho State Parks and Recreation as the first and only so far, Volunteer Services Coordinator eleven years ago. She has a unique perspective of what it takes to work in state government settings where she partners with 30 different field locations, requiring a blend of people finesse and program flexibility. Kathryn understands the needs and challenges faced by volunteer managers in a large geographical area with few urban centers. She believes that an organization makes a real difference when it advocates for its members in a national forum, leads the group by example, and encourages its members to continually strive to improve their skills and have a greater influence in the profession of volunteer management. Kathryn has or is currently serving with: Education Program Coordinator, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department; Volunteer Services Coordinator, Idaho Parks and Recreation; National Association for State Park Volunteer Coordinators; Southwest Idaho Directors of Volunteer Services Leadership Team; and is a Certified Volunteer Administrator.

The development of a national association will promote and develop volunteer management in local, regional, national, and international arenas for networking and collaboration among the professionals to serve as a catalyst in each community.
