WEBINARS

No matter where you live in the country you can gain education through the Web! The Volunteer Management Professionals of Canada has now begun offering free webinars to its members and posting recordings of previous webinars in the members-only section for on demand viewing. View current offerings and register here http://www.vmpc.ca/cgi/page.cgi/Member_Only_Webinars.html.

In addition to that, we have compiled a list of free volunteer management-related webinars as well as curated lists of where to find and access relevant online training and education. This list will continue to grow, expand and change based on new offerings and feedback from members.

Here are a few sites and links to free webinars that may be of interest to volunteer managers*:
