2011 National Volunteer conference

      About |  Location | Transportation | Programming | Schedule | Registration | FAQs

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 in Alpha Phi Omega where we, as volunteers, can come together for volunteer training and to celebrate the Fraternity! 

Let me stress the “as volunteers” part.  This is the only time dedicated solely for the training of our 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 chapters be “Beacons of Service” on their campuses.  This is the Fraternity’s opportunity to give back to you by giving you the training and the skills you need to be a successful 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 for the Fraternity.  There will be variety of workshops in the following tracks:

• Essentials of Volunteering
• Chapter support
• Program support 
• Managing & Leading Volunteers
• Organizational Leadership
• Chapter Advising

When we are volunteering for the Fraternity, there aren’t a lot of opportunities to share experiences and network with other volunteers.  That’s not the case with the NVC!  Here you will be able to meet and share experiences with volunteers from across the nation.  This is a great opportunity to learn what’s working and what’s not from other volunteers.  Please make it your summer volunteer priority to attend the sixth annual National Volunteer Conference that will be held Summer 2011, in Kansas City MO.

In order to accomplish our Fraternity’s goals, we need all volunteers to attend this conference: young and new or old and wise.   Please make a point to attend the next National Volunteer conference! 

 

Yours in Leadership, Friendship and Service,
