Each spring and fall, AL!VE’s CVA Study Group offers an enriching opportunity for volunteer engagement professionals to prepare for certification in a supportive environment. Facilitated by experienced CVAs, the study group provides a structured pathway for participants to deepen their understanding of best practices and connect with peers across the country. As we close out the spring 2025 program, we want to thank all the participants, facilitators, and presenters who made this cohort so successful. Special thanks to program leaders Sherrill Isenhower, Lynn Lauritzen, and Rosemary Badger. Your energy and enthusiasm continue to raise the bar for our profession.
Whether you're considering certification for the first time or are planning to renew, AL!VE is here to support you every step of the way. Congratulations again to all new CVAs—we can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make!
