Event Description
Let's talk about local government volunteer programs! Join fellow volunteer engagement professionals working in local government for an engaging, informal Community of Practice. This is a laid-back, supportive space to exchange ideas, share resources, and discuss what’s working (and what’s not). We’ll talk about the real-world challenges and successes of operating a volunteer program within a government structure, including Emergency Management. Whether you have a question, a success story, or just want to listen and learn, you’re welcome here.
NAVPLG members welcome … we’d love to see you!

Stephanie Sielaty, CVA – Volunteer Sarasota Program Coordinator, Sarasota County
