Society for Healthcare
Volunteer Leaders
Has anyone ever attended the AHVRP conferences? If so, did you find the speakers to be beneficial, and the conference worth attending? There is a conference in October of this year, and I have never attended. Thanks for any input. Charlene Marx, Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, Pelham Medical Center.
Charlene come to Atlanta! I haven't been but two of my peers went last year. They both said it was productive and helpful, and being in a larger group than at our state conference just means more people sharing good ideas. Hope to see you here in the fall.
I have attended both the AHVRP conferences and SHVL. (Southeastern) They are both well thought out, informational and worth the registration. The location might make a difference with costs. Since AHVRP is going to be close, Atlanta, I would suggest giving it a try.
Final decision should be made once the speakers are chosen, usually posted in May.
Has been a great conference the years I have attended. For you VA volunteer professionals, they usually have a special track of programs geared strictly toward you.
Also usually some specific programs for Children's Hospitals as well.
I would highly recommend that you attend. I always bring back great ideas and new volunteer programs to implement, but also the opportunity to network with other DVS professionals is priceless!
