Vantage Point presents a rare opportunity to hear Bea Boccalandro, from the Boston College Centre for Corporate Citizenship, share her thought-provoking views. In this unique forum, Bea will question why the not-for-profit sector has yet to effectively leverage the resources and talent of the corporate sector.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: June 7th, 8th and 9th, 2012. CAVR 2012 National Conference will be a Professional Development Symposium on June 7th, 2012 linked to Vitalize on June 8th and 9th held in Calgary, Alberta.

As the IVMD website says..”volunteering does not succeed in a vacuum. Behind this army of volunteers lies an equally dedicated group of individuals and agencies who are responsible for the coordination, support, training, administration and recruitment of the world's volunteers - skilled professionals who are adept at taking singular passion and turning it into effective action.” Go to http://www.volunteermanagersday.org/ for more information. CAVR sends out our deep appreciation to Managers/Coordinators of Volunteer Resources on this special day. We encourage you to celebrate your accomplishments on November 5th and to let others in your organization know that all around the world, those who engage and support volunteers are being honoured on that day.
