 Recertification Packet: Process, Criteria and
Forms
Introduction
In the constantly changing contemporary work
environment, the standard of best practices in volunteer management must
remain at the highest level of expertise possible. Professionals in
all fields are expected to be fully up-to-date in their chosen area of
expertise. Employers and customers alike have high expectations of
the services provided by certified professionals.
It is this focus on best practices in volunteer
management that forms the basis of a recertification program. The
CVA recertification guidelines provide a comprehensive framework that will
allow a professional volunteer administrator to:
-
maintain their CVA status
-
continue professional development
-
demonstrate a high level of professionalism to
employers, colleagues, and the community.
Recertification is required every five years to
demonstrate your continuing professional development and to retain the
right to use the professional appellation, CVA. The CVA
