HistoryThe New York Association for Volunteer Administration, a membership-driven association run by and for professionals in the field of volunteer resources management, was officially incorporated as an independent organization in 1998. Prior to incorporation, the organization had a long and active history as a regional chapter of AVA, the national organization at the time. Since its inception, NYAVA has been a force for professionalism in the field of volunteer resources administration in the New York City area. Building on the talents of its own membership and through professional partnerships, NYAVA has provided the New York City non-profit community with development opportunities through its apprentice/mentoring program, networking opportunities and regular workshops highlighting best practices. The 2022 Board approved a 2022-23 Strategic Plan prior to NYAVA's 25th anniversary in 2023. Today, the association continues to fulfil its mission to serve a diverse and growing membership. |
