Book Launch: Volunteer Administration: Professional Practice
This long awaited, 18-chapter textbook was created by the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration (CCVA). It is a comprehensive reference book and guide, providing a solid theoretical framework and professional context for the effective leadership and management of volunteer engagement.
Unlike many other existing publications, this book provides full coverage of volunteer management and administration, ensuring a thorough understanding of the concepts and principles that define managers, leaders and professionals in this field.
Volunteer Administration: Professional Practice is organized around the five core competencies which serve as a foundation for the profession of volunteer administration: ethics, organizational management, human resources management, accountability, and leadership and advocacy. These competencies have been identified by CCVA through a Practice Analysis study of the field with input from managers of volunteers in a wide variety of settings.
