International Volunteer Managers Day – Nov 5, 2011
As the IVMD website says..”volunteering does not succeed in a vacuum. Behind this army of volunteers lies an equally dedicated group of individuals and agencies who are responsible for the coordination, support, training, administration and recruitment of the world's volunteers - skilled professionals who are adept at taking singular passion and turning it into effective action.” Go to http://www.volunteermanagersday.org/ for more information.
CAVR sends out our deep appreciation to Managers/Coordinators of Volunteer Resources on this special day. We encourage you to celebrate your accomplishments on November 5th and to let others in your organization know that all around the world, those who engage and support volunteers are being honoured on that day.
Below are celebration events being held in Calgary and Ottawa.
Please contact us at
advocacy@cavrcanada.org with any events occurring in your area and we’ll also post them to the Site!
