| Dear Members,
We’re serious when we say things are heating up at AL!VE! We’ve welcomed over 60 new members—our biggest monthly jump yet—thanks to Empath Health in Lakewood, FL. Registration is open for the Fall CVA Study Group, the Hybrid Conference is gaining momentum, and we’re excited to announce our first National Summit Platinum Sponsor and the 2025 International Volunteer Managers Day theme.
With so much growth and energy, we remain focused on supporting you—wherever you are in your journey. Heat up your summer in the best way with our latest updates, resources, and ways to stay connected. Hope to see you online soon! Darlene |
