AVM Subgroups

We're currently in the process of setting up subgroups for managing the development of AVM in future. As we expand and grow it's really important to focus our efforts on the tasks at hand. To this end we've divided up the work as follows:

Membership services

The aim of the Subgroup shall be to develop and maintain services that identify and meet the needs of the membership. This includes

• maintaining current services to meet the needs of the membership such as the peer-groups and skills-banks;
• developing new services that identify and meet the needs the membership;
• monitoring and evaluating the effectiveness of the services and the needs of the membership; and
• identifying more effective engagement methods

Campaigns and policy

The aim of the Subgroup shall be to identify ways to raise the profile of volunteer managers as a profession, highlight concerns of volunteer managers and respond to issues that affect volunteer managers and identify more effective engagement methods.

Website development

The aim of the Subgroup shall be to ensure the website is an effective tool for profiling volunteer managers, delivering services and communicating with members. This includes:

• amending/adding content;
• ensuring content is up-to-date;
• ensuring the site is accessible;
• trouble-shooting any problems;
• developing new ways of making the website more effective; and
• identifying more effective engagement methods.

For more information

We're looking for people who'd like to get involved in each of these subgroups from around the country. The one catch is that you'll need to be a paid up member of AVM to join a subgroup. There maybe exceptions made for people who are co-opted on to the subgroup because they have particular skills or expertise in the area being worked on.

Please contact us if you'd like to get involved.
