Nonprofit Connect is excited to livestream “Leading the Way, Not Managing the Day,” an international volunteer management conference broadcast from Canada. Join us at our office to watch this streaming event, presented by AL!VE, Better Impact and Volunteer Management Professionals of Canada.
Now in its fourth year, this year’s conference topic will explore how leaders of volunteers can move from managing to leading. You’ll enjoy short and to-the-point presentations from widely recognized experts in the field, followed by moderated discussion with the other presenters (think TED Talks meet late night television.) Handouts and worksheets will also be provided.
This is your opportunity to connect with hundreds of volunteer management peers across the United States and Canada. Seating is limited so register now. Lunch and snacks are included.

Getting a Seat at the Table (8:40 a.m.)
Presented by Beth Steinhorn, CVA
Using real-life examples and actionable tips, Beth discusses how to get a seat at the leadership table and shift from managing volunteers to serving as an internal consultant across your organization to effectively engage and support volunteers. Participants will hear about research and case studies supporting strategic volunteer engagement.
Leading From Behind (10:40 a.m.)
Presented by Heidi Jakop, CVA
Empowering your volunteers to take ownership, initiative, and lead provides opportunities for them to grow. Surrounding yourself with those who have strengths and talents that differ from yours builds your organization's capacity. Heidi shares examples, steps, and opportunities for cultivating and empowering leadership in your volunteers and engaging a diversely talented team.
