Volunteer Administrators Network Leadership Circle

Professionals working in volunteer engagement, whether as a paid staff member or as a volunteer, contribute a vital service to organizations and to our communities. Nevada Volunteers believes this work is a critical factor in strengthening volunteerism. To encourage growth and leadership in this field, Nevada Volunteers is offering the following professional development opportunity to any interested individual who engages volunteers, whether for a municipality, a nonprofit, and faith or civic group, or a business volunteer employee program.

The Volunteer Administrators Network (VAN) Leadership Circle will consist of six people from communities across the state, one per community. Participation in this leadership opportunity is from August 1, 2017 - January 30, 2018. It is anticipated that full participation will take approximately 5-7 hours per month. Please view the benefits and requirements of this leadership opportunity below.

Applications are due by June 23, 2017. Applications will be reviewed and participants will be selected by June 30, 2017.

Participant Requirements

Leadership Circle participants serve as liaisons within their home community for a period of six months (August 1, 2017 – January 30, 2018). The required duties are listed below and are outlined in a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) participants are required to sign before participating in the VAN Leadership Circle.

1. Facilitate (at a local location to be determined) up to five (5) webinars, one time per month. The facilitator is responsible for making sure technology is operating, having a sign-in sheet for attendees, and serving as a facilitator after the webinar to guide discussion and networking (materials provided).

2. Assist in outreach for the webinars. Participants (facilitators) do this by generating a list of potential attendees for the webinars using whatever connections he/she has in the community. They help by inviting others to attend the training and maintaining a list of those individuals, their organizations, and email or phone contact.

3. Participate in a monthly conference call with other Leadership Circle participants to assess the value of the webinars. During these monthly calls, facilitators provide feedback about the effectiveness of webinar content, activities, discussions, and about outreach efforts. This is a way for facilitators to learn and share information, and for Nevada Volunteers staff to provide training, support, and to collect information.
