EMERGING LEADERS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Emerging Leaders Development Program
An expression of interest was
sought from members to
participate in a new program
within the Volunteers Association.
The program has been developed
for participants to develop their
skills and experience within the Notfor-Profit
sector. The program will
continue to run until July 2017, where
each participant will be provided with
valuable knowledge, practical skills,
mentoring, the opportunity to observe
and present at Board meetings and
deliver a project of interest for both
the participant and the Volunteers
Association.
At the completion of the program
members will have gained a unique
understanding of the operation of the
Volunteers Association and will have
the skills to become a Not-for-Profit
Board member.
Expectations of the participants:
»»
Required to work one on one with
a current Board member;
»»
Attend various training courses
including those run by the
Australian Institute of Company
Directors;
»»
Attend some Board meetings,
President’s Workshops and other
activities during the period of the
program;
»»
Undertake and deliver a project
of interest to the Volunteers
Association working with its
assigned Board member; and
»»
Deliver a presentation on a
contemporary volunteering
issue to the Board.
Each of our Emerging Leaders
has nominated a project that
they would like to be involved
in, with areas covered across
technology innovations, mental
health and wellbeing, training and
development and a national body
for the Volunteers Association all
being worked on.
Workshops have also been
attended around Values-based
Leadership and Initial Contact
Training as well as the participants
being observers in a Volunteers
Council Meeting.
