AL!VE Academy Webinars
Event Description
Attending conferences can be career-changing, but only if you’re intentional about how you show up, engage, and follow through. This interactive AL!VE Academy will equip volunteer engagement professionals with practical strategies to maximize conferences, from local workshops to national gatherings like the Points of Light Conference. Participants will learn how to prepare, network authentically, build visibility, and turn conference moments into long-term career growth, whether in-person or virtual.
