Volunteer Managers' Conference 2008
“Working in volunteer management” the research bulletin recently published by the Institute for Volunteering Research reported that the majority of those offering support and supervision to volunteers, would find short training courses and informal training helpful. Empowering Today’s Volunteer Manager, the first South East Regional Conference for Volunteer Managers’ offers just that at an affordable price.
Volunteer management is becoming increasingly professional. The ability to keep lots of different plates spinning is a key skill for managers working in today’s voluntary sector. Managing projects, recruiting, training, retaining and supporting volunteers, promoting your organisation, creating policies and dealing with legal issues are just some of volunteer managers’ responsibilities.
Empowering Today’s Volunteer Manager is the first South East Regional Conference, to recognise, celebrate and develop the diverse range of skills needed by managers in the voluntary sector.
Empowering Today’s Volunteer Manager brings an alternative to the traditional conference format.
There’s no sitting through lengthy keynote speeches.
The day is broken up into a series of interactive workshops, where you can explore the issues that are most important to you. You select the themes you want to find out more about. Read the Conference details to find out more on workshop titles as they are announced.
During the breaks you’ll be able to browse our small exhibition and share experiences with other managers.
On 6 November 2008, Volunteer Managers from across the region will meet to share experiences and develop their skills – but the number of places is limited, so don’t miss out. Book early to secure your place and take advantage of the early-bird booking discount.
