Keys to Understanding the Program Guide

The theme for the 2002 International Conference on Volunteer Administration – Connection Points – is
the common thread that runs through every workshop. Attention has been paid to every aspect of this gathering to ensure that participants connect with one another, with the presenters and their material, with
the greater Denver community and with the important work and further development of the profession.

Four Cornerstones

Four cornerstones form the foundation for the Conference – opportunity, balance, community and reflection. Symbols that indicate which of these cornerstones is the basis for a particular workshop. Some workshops have more than one cornerstone.

 Balance is the focus in workshops on high touch vs. high tech, work life vs.
personal life, board vs. staff vs. volunteer roles, and budget vs. needed resources.

 Community is about engaging others in ways that create interdependence between
executive staff, volunteers, funders, corporate sponsors and stakeholders.

 Opportunity exists for you to learn, grow, connect with others and have fun.

 Reflection is time for focusing on the state of the profession, what is working and can
work better for you, the volunteers and your entire organization.

 Presenters from the Advanced Practitioner Track will also offer general workshops,
and the symbol identifying these workshops is a Colorado mountain.

Each workshop is also coded by level: B – Basic; I – Intermediate; A – Advanced. Some workshops are for everyone and are indicated by the word: ALL

Additionally, each workshop has a code designation that is used for registration and CEU purposes (i.e. TW18).
