Annual Review• The AVM Board has seen changes in personnel and roles. • AVM continues to work on your behalf by talking with various
organisations and attending events to help raise the profile of volunteer management.
• AVM maintains working relationships with a range of organisations including NCVO, NNVIA and IVO.
• AVM contributes to UKVPM’s and other online discussions. • During Volunteers’ Week, AVM blogged about the contributions made
by the thousands of people who lead or organise volunteering.• AVM has been unable to be as visible as the Board would have liked to
be during the last year.
Finding Our Voice
How can AVM best represent you in your role?
Finding Our Voice
What do you think needs to happen in order for Volunteer Management to become a more recognised profession?
How might you find your own voice as a manager of volunteers?
Finding Our Voice
• Setting the Standards • Code of Volunteering Practice
Finding Our Voice
• What guides us in how we manage?
• Are we any good at managing?
• How do we know? • How do you know?
• How do you know the volunteer manager sat next to you is competent?
• How do you know the volunteer manager sat next to you is ensuring the best experience and outcome for the volunteer, the beneficiary/client, the local community and the organisation?
• How do you know the volunteer manager sat next to you has the same principles as you when it comes to managing volunteers?
Finding Our Voice – John Ramsey
• The formalisation of standards and the objective measurement of them, is one of the key ways in which professions becomes respected and established. Our failure to do so is stopping the development of volunteer management in any meaningful way.
• The secret is to achieve a Code of Conduct that works for volunteer management, but that doesn’t devalue the diversity and flexibility that volunteering requires.
Finding Our Voice – John Ramsey
Finding Our Voice - TOGETHER
• Will you use your voice and help to develop the Code of Volunteering Practice
