In her keynote presentation, Dr. Megan Conway, President and CEO of Volunteer Canada, discussed the National Volunteer Action Strategy (NVAS) and explored avenues to enhance its impact. Dr. Conway unpacked the intent, objectives, and desired outcomes of the NVAS, offering valuable insights into how local communities can actively participate in mobilizing for broader change. Participants gained a deeper understanding of how to strengthen volunteer infrastructure nationwide and foster a deeper understanding of how collective efforts can propel meaningful change.
Workshops allowed participants to learn strategies to open their doors to volunteers who many not have been involved in their organization through supporting more inclusive volunteering, how to turbocharge non-profit efforts with AI, and the key success factors to effective fundraising. There were also panels and discussions on recruitment, legal liability for non-profits, and how to plan and facilitate more effective board meetings.
