dialogue is a free, on-line monthly publication of the Association for Volunteer Administration (AVA), the international professional organization promoting excellence in the effective management of volunteer resources. The dialogue series is funded under a generous grant from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. The series provides AVA the opportunity to dialogue with authors, advocates, and leaders across multiple sectors about the profession of volunteer resources management, and our mutual goals to build a more engaged and sustainable society.

In keeping with its name, this publication was created by AVA to stimulate thought and discussion, and to present viewpoints to practitioners from thoughtful individuals they may not otherwise hear from on this topic. Please feel free to forward dialogue on to your colleagues, executive directors of nonprofit organizations, and other nonprofit advocates whom you believe would value its content.
