Every day, we have the opportunity to quietly accept the world around us or reach out and show our true appreciation for the tremendous work that is being done. Thankfulness springs from an awareness and genuine appreciation for a person and their contributions. Thankfulness is embodied in our societies when we are not only grateful for the contributions made by others but also when we pause and reflect on the nature of the contributions made by those around us. The dual nature of both awareness and appreciation increases the significance of heartfelt thankfulness. I am thankful for the work of professional volunteer resources managers (VRMs).
 
Every day, VRMs go to work mobilizing volunteers to address issues affecting communities around the world. They motivate, challenge and recognize the efforts of millions of volunteers around the world. They inform and educate volunteers so that they can understand the impact their work has and whom they are serving. They often work in difficult conditions with few resources. Yet these truly gifted professionals make the impossible happen every day.
 
Happy International Volunteer Manager Appreciation Day!
 
Thank you for all that you do for our communities!
