AVR-SK Professional Development Day June 13, 2019

AVR-SK PD Day June 2019

You are invited to join your AVR-SK Executive Board for the Annual Professional Development Day on June 13, 2019. We are excited to be partnering with the Saskatoon Public Libraries and hosting our event at the Alice Turner Library in their meeting room. Our day will start at 10:00am and conclude at 4:00pm. We start the day with  the feature presentation from Erin Huber, CVA on the Fundamentals for Corporate Group Volunteer Programs. Spend the afternoon with us for a World Cafe in which we network to discuss common trends occurring in the world of Volunteer Management such as Youth and Newcomers as volunteers and program problem solving. Shifting agendas from previous conferences, the afternoon activity is not mandatory but instead an invitation to those wishing to network and problem solve. Another new addition to the PD Day is the request that anyone wishing to spend the full day with us bring their own lunch. Snacks and beverages will be provided but please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions at the time of registration.

We would like to thank Sask Energy for sponsoring this event.

We look forward to seeing you!
