"The North Carolina Association for Volunteer Administration
(NCAVA) will host the 2014 State
Conference on Volunteerism on May 14-16, 2014 in downtown Greensboro,
NC. This year’s theme is “Looking Back and Moving Forward: Forty Years of
Educating Volunteer Administrators.”
During
the three day conference, volunteer managers and nonprofit professionals will
attend workshops designed to enhance and improve their day-to-day work
activities. There will be a variety of topics covered in the workshops, including:
engaging corporate volunteers, social media and volunteer engagement, service
learning vs. volunteering, and much more. Greensboro mayor Nancy Vaughan will
present a welcoming address at the Wednesday night dinner event.
The
NCAVA is pleased to announce that we have scheduled two dynamic speakers to
educate and entertain conference participants. The Keynote Speaker, Rob
Jackson, is an internationally recognized consultant and presenter on volunteer
management from the United Kingdom. To know more about Mr. Jackson, check
out the background on our fabulous keynote speaker. Mike Collins will
present an energetic closing session on positivity.
In
addition, NCAVA will host a special celebration at this conference in
observance of its 40th birthday. These three days are not only
about the education our participants will receive, but will also be an
opportunity for them to network with peers and professionals across the state.
Greensboro
is a city of rich and powerful history. It was the site of the 1960 Woolworth
sit-in and the epicenter of the textile industry, both domestically and
internationally. While here for our conference, participants can visit the
International Civil Rights Center and Museum, attend a Greensboro Grasshoppers
baseball game, visit the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, and much
more."
