REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS
AVRM NATIONAL CONFERENCE HOST
Serving as the AVRM National Conference Host is beneficial to local volunteer managers associations and non-profit networks. You will find that in the process of planning the conference, opportunities will present themselves to develop new partnerships, increase awareness of volunteerism in your community and building the leadership skills and knowledge of the field in local volunteer resources managers.
It also offers to local volunteer resources managers the opportunity to experience a national level conference at an affordable price. As a host you are also encouraged to involve other local or regional volunteer resources manager associations (DOVIAs) or non-profit networks to participate increasing the pool of volunteers to support the conference.
To propose your city as a future conference site, please use the form below. We understand that you may not have all of the information that is requested on the form but tell us as much as you can. The conference planning committee would like to know more about your city and the potential for holding a conference there.
