ARVM Fall Conference in Dallas, Texas

The Association of Volunteer Resource Management (AVRM) has incorporated and set a location and date for its first national conference. The conference, themed BUILDING BRIDGES TO OUR FUTURE, is scheduled to begin October 3 and end October 5, 2007, in Dallas, Texas, reports Claudia Dalton, AVRM Conference Chair. “The ‘Bridges’ we
refer to are our own professional development, technology and information. This conference offers a great agenda, including a special event evening, wonderful keynote, and several meals, along with great training and networking opportunities.
It will be a time that we celebrate our new national organization to serve the needs of the individual Volunteer Resources Manager.

Our planning team has been hard at work pulling the conference together. What’s truly amazing is that we have been able to do this without major sponsors, except for Gilley’s, which is providing the venue, or asking the membership to donate up front. There will be a cost for the conference, of course, but we don’t expect it to be more than a couple of hundred dollars.” For information Claudia Dalton can be reached at VRM-Roundtable@CharityChannel.com
