Hybrid Conference Coming In June 2015 Save the date - AL!VE is partnering with Better Impact to produce and present a hybrid conference on June 23 or 25, 2015. What is a hybrid conference? Small groups gather and view a speaker who presents over the internet. Small group discussions happen but also with other remote locations participating in other locations. This is best suited for a local Volunteer Managers Association ( a DOVIA or AVA ) to set up locally. A fee will be charged to each remote location and in turn each remote location can charge a fee for local participants. Speakers Rob Jackson, Andy Fryar, Rick Lynch and Tony Goodrow will present. *AL!VE Group members will be given a discount and first opportunity to sign up!* Want to learn more? See our web page for details, then Sign up for an informational session to be held on February 23, 2015 at 4:00 pm Eastern/ 1:00 pm Pacific. Welcome new or renewing members!
