April AL!VE Academy:  "Volunteer Recognition with NO .... to a Shoestring Budget"
April 1, 2 PM Eastern for 1 hour

As we know, a lot of volunteer management professionals have little to no budget for volunteer celebrations. We love our volunteers and want to do everything possible to THANK them for all their time. That is why we invite you to join us for "Volunteer Recognition with NO .... to a Shoestring Budget" presented by Joe Landmichl. 

This presentation is filled with interaction, networking and a host of tools that can help raise your volunteer recognition celebrations to the next level!  
 
AL!VE Academies are free for members and $25.00 for the general public.  Please consider joining as a member and enjoy a whole year of great professional development, mentoring, and more!  Learn more here:  https://www.volunteeralive.org/join_alve.php

Joe Landmichl is a Volunteer Management Professional with over 20 Years of experience. At a young age, Joe was the Vice President of the Volunteer League of Shedd Aquarium in Chicago working alongside the volunteer office recruit, train and retain volunteers. He then started traveling the country as a Volunteer Management Consultant, helping organizations build their volunteer programs, develop policies and procedures and community action plans. This included changing the culture of staff to be more volunteer centric. Throughout his career, Volunteer Recognition has been a centerpiece of everything he does.

National Networks COP:
Those working at a national level face different issues than those operating on a local or regional level. Often national level leaders are engaged in big picture, strategic or policy decision-making. Sometimes those operating at a national level don’t work directly with volunteers, but rather help empower others in their organizations who do. Join the discussion to connect and learn from others working nationally. We invite anyone looking to brainstorm around the unique issues facing volunteer leaders on a national level.  This COP group will be a chance to network, share expertise, ask questions, and solve problems with your peers. 

 *note* When you register, you will be automatically be registered for all the future COP dates (listed below) and monthly reminders will be sent - the COP will use the same zoom link.
