President's Letter

Gretchen Jordan, CVA

Greetings Colleagues,
Summer is almost here and with the change of seasons most of us will see some type of changes to our programs. Some gear up for the summer, others a brief hiatus. There may be changes to programs due to budget cuts, or due to outside factors such as the flooding in Tennessee or the oil spill on the gulf coast. We know the impact of a volunteer program well managed has on the volunteers, its agency and the community. It's such a cliché, but now more than ever, volunteers are making a big difference everywhere.

Being a member of a national association is great, but even better if you get involved!  AL!VE committee members help design the programs and direction of the organization. Serving as a committee member can provide you some invaluable connections with volunteer managers in other parts of the country and a sense of personal satisfaction when promoting the value and importance of volunteer management as a profession. Come and learn with us, and leave your own mark on the national face of volunteer management!

AL!VE Survey Results

Membership Committee

AL!VE Survey Results

The 2010 AL!VE survey results indicated a high level of satisfaction in the direction the AL!VE Board is taking the organization. Below are some highlights of these results. 

The survey was sent to all AL!VE members. Thank you to the 64 members who completed the survey. As a professional organization, these results confirm the AL!VE Board direction is aligned with its membership’s goals and expectations. It also identifies future projects that will benefit our membership.

AL!VE plans to utilize the results and respond as part of our 2010 -2011 goals/strategies.
