KAVA is the Kentuckiana Association for Volunteer Administration. Based in Louisville, KY. Here to promote the standards of excellence for Volunteer admins.
Time for a reintroduction....Hi! We're a nonprofit serving those who lead others. KAVA is a group of incredible volunteer administrators who meet monthly to brainstorm on ideas in the field. Join us! https://t.co/N8ksWX9ljf
#vmhcfuture, thank you for talking about how permission and encouragement will help us get our volunteers promoting their experiences while volunteering to the community.
If you're enjoying reading what KAVA is tweeting today, join us for "Live Tweeting" at our next meeting on Thursday, November 14th from 11:30am-1:00pm (EST) at the Kentucky Science Center. For more information, check out our website, https://t.co/j3Qs0BfEjC
#vmhcfuture, storytelling delivers better information than statistics to our volunteers. What types of stories do your volunteers enjoy reading or hearing?
@FaizaVenzant To be honest, I think we have always done it by e-mail. There are still some volunteers that we will give a call on the phone, but we also empower those volunteers with printed schedules and they can call in when an opportunity that they are interested arises.
#vmhcfuture, How do you work with volunteers and/or co-workers who are resistant to using technology? Some volunteers still do not have an e-mail address.
#vmhcfuture, How do we use robotics, AI, or other tech without sacrificing the value of human interaction? Many of us have volunteers because they bring personal dedication, their own talents, and are even donors.
#vmhcfuture, Strengthening Inclusion Through Technology. After today's conference, what are some of the easiest or most common ways we can evaluate our volunteer programs and workplaces to be more inclusive?
#vmhcfuture, Being A Data Informed Volunteer Engagement Professional. What data should we be seeking from our volunteers to improve their experiences and our onboarding processes?
#vmhcfuture, great point made about when collecting volunteer data to make sure it is done with inclusion in mind as well as with protecting volunteers' personal information!
Good Morning Kentuckiana! Youer fellow KAVA members are diving into our first Hybrid Conference, VMHC 2019 The Future is Now: Tech Trends Transforming 2020 and Beyond!
