Why should I go? What’s new? What’s in it for me? These are but a few of the questions I have received regarding the National Volunteer Conference. I have given a lot of thought to these questions and here is my answer:
The National Volunteer Conference is the premier event where we, as volunteers, can come together for volunteer training and celebrate!
Let me stress the “as volunteers” part. This is the only time dedicated solely for the training of volunteers as well as the only opportunity to hear first hand the goals and objectives of the coming year. Think of the National Volunteer Conference as a “national volunteer staff meeting”. As volunteers, we give countless hours of effort helping others be “Beacons of Service” on at there events. This is a great opportunity to give back to you by giving you the training and the skills you need to be a successful volunteer. In other words you can take those skills and teach others or have me speak to your groups about the new ideas and goals of a good volunteer!
It does not matter if you are a new volunteer or a seasoned veteran, there will be ample opportunities to broaden your skills as a key volunteer. There will be variety of workshops in the following tracks:
* Essentials of Volunteering
* Chapter support
* Program support
* Managing & Leading Volunteers
* Organizational Leadership
* Chapter Advising
Invitation: Join this impressive list of speakers at the 2011 National Conference on Volunteering and Service in New Orleans, LA, June 6-8.
