Association of Volunteer Resources Management is pleased to invite you to the 2nd Annual National Conference which is being held October 1 -3, 2008, in Binghamton, NY.

The theme of this year’s conference Power in Partnerships reflects the potential and energy we experience working with volunteers. Together, we will discuss the emerging opportunities volunteer resources managers (VRMs) share in developing authentic, sustainable partnerships for our organizations.

We can build stronger communities by increasing communication between programs. Everyday we create more effective programs that increase the quality of life in our communities. What collaborative successes and synergy can we highlight in identifying new resources and learning how to leverage these resources together to meet the identified needs of our communities? What roles can educational institutions, funding sources, government, businesses, corporations and others play in creating a shared vision and making things happen?

We hope that you can join us in this opportunity for broad discussion and information exchange on volunteer opportunities, as well as a chance to engage in informal networking opportunities.
