Welcome to the National Volunteer Conference Website!
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 fourth annual National Volunteer Conference that will be
held July 31 - August 3, 2008, at
The Hilton Garden
InninIndependence,
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 this
conference! Please note that the deadline for registering is
July 10, 2008.
Yours in Leadership, Friendship and Service,
