Volunteering can be serious business. For Peter Higgins, it is literally a laughing matter.
The Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션03 graduate is a founding member and current president of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Players Toronto comedy troupe that formed in 2004 and has produced more than 20 full-scale and single night shows. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of volunteers, the Players have raised more than $200,000 for charity.
Mr. Higgins knows working with volunteers is much different than managing a group of paid employees who are required to do everything the boss says. So to keep his volunteer management skills sharp, he has attended every Alumni Volunteer Summit (AVS) since 2012.
카지노 게임 컬렉션(AVS) is a fantastic way to hone your volunteer recruitment and management skills. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s also a great way to connect with the broader alumni network and look for areas where you can cross promote, allowing both sides to grow and benefit,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Higgins, who says he spends an 카지노 게임 컬렉션insane카지노 게임 컬렉션 amount of time volunteering with Players.
This year카지노 게임 컬렉션s AVS is set for April 6-7 at the Donald Gordon Centre, and attendees can expect a fun night of socializing and networking on Friday night and a full day of workshops and keynote lectures on Saturday. The theme of the summit is 카지노 게임 컬렉션Building a Better Volunteer: From Recruitment to Recognition,카지노 게임 컬렉션 and the featured speakers include Smith School of Business professor Kate Rowbotham and Principal Daniel R. Woolf, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션80.
New this year will be a panel session focused on diversity and inclusion featuring staff, student, and alumni speakers discussing the important initiatives on campus 카지노 게임 컬렉션 including the Principal카지노 게임 컬렉션s Committee on Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion and the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Truth and Reconciliation Commission Task Force. Panelists will answer questions and discuss how recommendations from these initiatives can be incorporated into the activities undertaken by the broader alumni community.
Sarah Indewey (Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Associate Director, Volunteer Relations and Reunions, Alumni Relations & Annual Giving) feels AVS is more than just a great learning opportunity. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s a chance for people in the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s alumni community from across Canada and the world to finally meet face-to-face instead of trading emails back and forth. One member of the Hong Kong Alumni Branch has already registered and a few more volunteers outside of North America are expected to attend as well.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The whole weekend is a great excuse to come home to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. It카지노 게임 컬렉션s an exciting weekend on campus with Grad Bash, AVS, and the QUAA Awards Gala all happening and coinciding with the last day of classes,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Ms. Indewey.
