Between evolving expectations and limited resources, today’s volunteer engagement professionals are being asked to accomplish more with fewer resources. That’s why AAMV is hosting a special Communities of Practice session tomorrow, July 16, at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT, centered on one essential question:
What does your volunteer program need most right now?
Join peers from across the country for a candid, collaborative conversation. Together, we’ll explore how to identify and prioritize your program’s most urgent needs—whether that means rethinking recruitment, amplifying impact, or building a stronger case for support.
