Cincinnati Association of Volunteer Administrators
Volunteers depend on you. You can depend on CAVA.
Our community programs and services need our dedicated volunteers. If you organize a volunteer force to accomplish a mission, consider a CAVA membership.
A CAVA membership will keep you up to date on local, regional and national issues impacting the profession of volunteer engagement, and will allow you to add your voice to our network. Your membership demonstrates that you are a serious professional dedicated to enhancing volunteer programs.
2024 CAVA membership runs January-December 2024.
What is included in your CAVA Membership?

The skill builder will begin promptly at 9:00 am and end by 10:30 am, with any left-over time set aside for networking.

A professional speaker, respected colleague, panel of special guests, or a round table discussion will provide professional development on a different topic at each meeting, helping you to continue to grow your skill set.

Skill Builders are an opportunity to connect with peers in your field. They provide time to share input or to help you to solve your issues on targeted topics each month.
