SUMMARY:2020 Volunteer Management Hybrid Conference!
DESCRIPTION:‘Managing Risk: Balancing Aversion and Innovation’ is a v
 olunteer management conference presented by AL!VE, Better Impact, and VM
 PC. Now in its sixth year, this year's topic will explore how balancing 
 innovation and aversion to risk impacts our volunteers, programs and age
 ncies, now and in the near and far futures. Our current streaming event 
 will consist of a 20-minute presentation followed by a moderated discuss
 ion with the other presenters (think TED talk meets late night tv), incl
 uding responding to questions from the audience.\n\nThis year’s presen
 ter lineup includes: Jennifer Bennett, CVA, Lori Gotlieb, Sarah Olivieri
  and Lindsay Baker, CVA. The session will be hosted and moderated by Fai
 za Venzant, CVA. Read more about the workshops and presenters at: https

 the day and time zone that works best for your local group. The broadcas

 tates and Canada, with the likelihood of an audience of 1000 or more.\n\
 nOne of the goals of this event is to provide quality, high level profes
 sional development events in local areas where access and resources may 
 be limited to local associations of volunteer engagement professionals, 
 volunteer centres, or other entities with an interest in professional de
 velopment for those who engage volunteers.\n\nHow does it work? Your lo
 cal group pays a connection fee and arranges for a location (with a scre
 en, speakers, and space for an audience), meals and a local facilitator 
 to guide local discussion. You can charge your local attendees whatever 
 price you choose. It could be a free event or you may charge a fee per p
 erson (determined by you) and make some profit for your local network.\n
