With Erin Spink, MA and Faiza Venzant CVA, CVRM Join us Friday May 1, 2020 - 9:30am - 11:00am via Zoom. See "How to Participate" using the Zoom platform below. *Only 100 seats available. The current crisis with COVID-19 has created challenges that many of us haven't faced to date both personally and professionally. This is taking place in a time where access to technology is creating new opportunities and new challenges for the volunteer engagement profession. Erin and Faiza will facilitate a conversation, be prepared to discuss: What do we need to consider when engaging volunteers during this time? What is digital engagement versus virtual volunteering? What digital and non digital tools are you currently using? What next? Erin Spink, MA - Spink's interest in volunteers started at the age of six when she pronounced that while it was wrong to eat animals, hamburgers at McDonald’s came from “volunteer cows” and therefore an exception could be made. She completed a Certificate with Distinction in Volunteer Program Management, followed by an M.A. (Leadership) where she submitted the first-ever academic research quantifying the concept of “volunteer engagement”. Spink’s thought-leadership work has been published around the world, including the CCVA accreditation textbook. She continues to author informative, cutting-edge research that advances the profession through her consulting firm - spinktank - which offers workshops, free resources and online courses, and its research arm CARVE (Centre for Advanced Research in Volunteer Engagement). Erin had the honour of serving on the PAVRO Board for five years, including two as President. For the last several years, Erin has volunteered as the Training Designs Editor for e-Volunteerism and co-authors the Points of View articles with Rob Jackson. Erin was recognized in 2017 with the Linda Buchanan Outstanding Leader of Volunteers award for her contributions to the profession. After 20 years working in Volunteer Engagement, she has changed her mind and no longer believes in eating volunteers. Faiza Venzant, CVA, CVRM - Faiza Venzant CVA, CVRM is the General Manager, Volunteer Development at the YMCA of Greater Toronto and a Board Member with the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration. With 20 years of leadership experience in Volunteer Engagement, she was a Canadian recipient of the inaugural IMPACT award for Exemplary Volunteer Leadership in 2019. She is passionate about inclusion in volunteerism and a big cheerleader of Volunteer Engagement professionals. . In 2018, Faiza published her first children’s book entitled, My Mamma Wants to Eat Me Up! As a mother of two young boys, she has not actually eaten any of her children up. We’ll be using Zoom to gather online. This is free to use from any device with internet including a phone. You can also call in and participate through a landline but you won’t be able to see the presenter's screen. If you are using Zoom for the first time, here is a helpful video tutorial for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIkCmbvAHQQ You can choose to use video so we can all see each other (we are a GREAT looking group after all) but this is not required. Our facilitator will be sharing video. Call details will be provided in the event confirmation email. THANK YOU!
