Are your standards up to scratch?
The Centre for Volunteering’s half day workshop: Implementing the 2015 Standards for Volunteer Involvement on September 29, will help you benchmark your organisation against industry standards.
The new Standards were developed for use by all volunteer organisations and designed to adapt the sector’s growing diversity. They are a blueprint for best practice in volunteer management no matter how big or small your organisation is.
Our presenter, Penny York, will review ‘Implementing the National Standards: Guide and Workbook’, by Volunteering Australia and provide you with practical advice for implementation. (A hard copy of the ‘Guide and Workbook’ is included in the workshop price.) During the workshop, you will be able to share issues, identify strengths, pinpoint areas for improvement, and understand the next steps for implementation.
If you coordinate or lead volunteers, have management or governance responsibility in an organisation that works with volunteers, don’t miss this opportunity to strive for best practice and protect your most valuable resource – volunteers.
