Celebrate Our Sweet 16 With Resources and Support

 

This June, AL!VE proudly celebrates 16 years of connecting, supporting, and developing volunteer engagement leaders. While we honor this milestone, we also hold space for those facing challenges—and we’re here to support one another.

 

 

Darlene Laird, CVA

Board President

Dear Members,

 

Let me be the first to wish our community a very happy 16th anniversary. Although we are celebrating, we have not forgotten all those who are going through a difficult time, whether that’s experiencing impacts of funding cuts or navigating constant change to keep up. We want to make sure you feel supported, and are able to help others feel supported too.

 

I want to remind everyone of the new Pay-What-You-Can Membership, Fall CVA Study Group registration (available June 4), a peek behind the curtain with nonprofit execs, and more. Learn more about new resources to gain support below and on our website. Hope to see you in-person or online soon!

 

With gratitude,

Darlene
