A. Full Day Sessions:
A1. Screening Volunteers In … Not Out

Often volunteer-engaging organizations feel at odds – they want to protect those whom they serve, but do not want to alienate potential volunteers with unwelcoming screening procedures. Solve this problem and revamp your volunteer-screening process with this workshop, presented by Volunteer Alberta. Learn how to: create an inviting culture that attracts and retains new volunteers; develop effective screening procedures – showing volunteers and clients they are valued; and discover tools that help you re-think your organization‟s approach to screening.

A2. Decoding the Code for Volunteer Involvement

The Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement is a valuable resource that provides tools for nonprofit organizations to best engage and integrate volunteers. The Code also sets out standards for risk management such as volunteer screening and enables organizations to enhance existing practices and ensure that solid foundations are in place for involving volunteers in their organizations.

A3. Emergency Management: Preparing to Lead a Crisis

Regardless of whether an organization has ever previously participated in emergency response, is big or small, or is local or national in scope, it may play an important role in reducing the impact of health emergencies on Canadians. Learn about the National Framework and answer the following questions: Is your national or umbrella

rganization prepared to activate networks and mobilize volunteers? Has your
rganization built “surge capacity” to mobilize volunteers so that their contributions

can be effectively applied?

B1. Canadian Survey of Giving, Volunteering, and Participating 2007

CSGVP 2007 asked Albertans how they gave money, volunteered, and participated in charitable and nonprofit/voluntary sector organizations. Acclaimed by hundreds of nonprofits as a tremendous source of reliable information on volunteering and donating, Volunteer Alberta‟s presentation of the most recent CSGVP (2007 data released in June 2009) reveals answers to where the volunteers are, is it true that youth are not engaged, who gives how much and why Albertans give $! B1.1 Nonprofit/Voluntary Sector Statistics: Where the Volunteers Are These presentations break down the results of the CSGVP 2007 into sector-specific

statistics. This presentation focuses on statistics specific to volunteers – who are they,

why do they volunteer, and what can you do to increase their engagement?

B2. Screening Volunteers In … Not Out

B5. Intersections II Training: Supporting Rural Organizations to Better Engage

Immigrant Volunteers Volunteering is an effective way of engaging new immigrants in a community and creates relationships that help strengthen communities. In this session, hands-on training teaches organizations how to better integrate immigrants as volunteers and active members. Funded by the Government of Alberta, Norquest College Centre for Excellence in Intercultural Education, Volunteer Alberta, Volunteer Calgary, and the Alberta Human Rights, Citizenship, and Multiculturalism Education Fund.

B6. Telling Your Story Through Media Relations

Has your organization faced an important issue, but the media does not seem to want to pick up on it? This session will help your organization decide what stories to pitch to the media, and teach you how to successfully work with reporters. This session is perfect for your organization‟s spokesperson. Participants will learn: what makes an issue newsworthy, how to pitch a story to the media, how to work with reporters, and how to build successful media relationships!

B7. Check Your Risks: Risk Management Strategies and Tactics

Risk management is more than insurance – it is a continuous process an organization uses to identify, assess, control, and minimize risks arising from its activities and

perations. This session gives participants practical, easy to implement, common

sense strategies to avoid and mitigate risks. Volunteer Alberta partners with The Co-

perators and the Government of Alberta to offer this free session to nonprofit and

voluntary organizations to ensure your good work continues with the confidence your

rganization is protected.
B8. Directors and Officers Liability: How Are You Managing?

Learn about Directors‟ and Officers‟ Liability Insurance at FREE Seminars specifically for members of nonprofit boards. Directors of nonprofit boards need information about their risks and responsibilities to ensure that the organization is prepared to meet its

mission. These seminars made possible through funding from The Co-operators and

the Government of Alberta.

B9. The New Perspective: Generative Governance

When people join a board of directors or become governors or trustees, they have a notion about what is expected – oversight of operations, and reviewing and approving

budgets. Being a board director or trustee means so much more! It includes both

accountabilities as stewards of charitable property and responsibilities to the wider

community. Generative Governance is a new way to govern. Governors are

convening to influence policy, to change the legal and regulatory framework within

which they operate and are forming alliances with other boards to achieve effective community governance.

Dr. Keith Seel – an expert in Generative Governance from Mount Royal University
