How can we be change-makers and elevate volunteers, volunteerism and our profession? We can use turbulent times to embrace our vision, plan how to initiate change and take the opportunity to strategize our approach. Through examples and tools, in this webinar, we will explore the ways to be change-makers and successfully craft an advocacy strategy for today and the future. About our Presenter: From Meridian's website, volunteerplaintalk.com: I have spent over 25 years in volunteer management, have held the CVA certification (http://cvacert.org/) since 2005, have presented on the state and national level, have written for several publications on volunteer management and a few years ago, wrote a book on volunteer management (the Volunteer Shelf Life) which came about because heck, volunteers leave for lots of reasons and I was tired of blaming myself every time a volunteer “quit.” For the last several years, I have been researching ways to elevate volunteer management and volunteerism and have compiled all that research into my latest book, (The Disruptive Volunteer Manager). It’s time we, volunteer managers are given the professional status we’ve earned in the non-profit sector. This webinar is free for AL!VE members; $25 for the general public (you will be billed).

Would you like to hear directly from volunteers about what they need and want from you?

Erin Spink of Spinktank presents initial findings from the international survey launched in early April. Free; register via zoom link below. THIS WEBINAR WILL BE RECORDED; IF YOU REGISTER AND CANNOT ATTEND, YOU WILL RECEIVE A LINK TO VIEW. Erin Spink’s interest in volunteers started at the age of six when she pronounced that while it was wrong to eat animals, hamburgers at McDonald’s came from “volunteer cows” and therefore an exception could be made. Fascinated by the subject, she completed a Certificate with Distinction in Volunteer Program Management, followed by an M.A. (Leadership) where she submitted the first-ever academic research quantifying the concept of “volunteer engagement”. Spink’s academic and thought- leadership work has since been published around the world. Erin had the honour of serving on the Board for PAVRO for five years, including two as President, during which she lead the association to sit at key decision-making tables such as presenting to the Ontario Minister for Economic Development. For the last several years, Erin has volunteered as the Training Designs Editor for e- Volunteerism. Recently, Erin was recognized with the 2017 recipient of the Linda Buchanan Outstanding Leader of Volunteers award for her contributions to the profession. After 20 years working in Volunteer Engagement, she has changed her mind and no longer believes in eating volunteers. |
