This Year's Presentations:
Cultivating and Empowering Volunteer Leadership
Heidi Jakop, CVA

Empowering your volunteers to take ownership, initiative, and lead provides opportunities for your volunteers to grow and flourish, just like your organization. Surrounding yourself with those who have strengths and talents that differ from yours not only builds your organizations capacity but allows staff to hone new skills as you work alongside them.


This session will share examples, steps, and opportunities for cultivating and empowering leadership in your volunteers and engaging a diversely talented team. Drawing from the Servant Leadership style, we will also explore creating the conditions and environment that allow volunteers to shine.

Heidi Jakop, CVA is the Director, Volunteer Engagement for Vancouver Botanical Gardens Association. Heidi is the President of the Administrators of Volunteer Resources of BC. Heidi was most recently an instructor at Langara College for the Volunteer Coordinator Certificate Program and facilitates workshops and webinars for university, municipality, volunteer centres, and professional associations.


How I’ve learned to lead my way and take charge of my day
Angela Williamson, CVA

I want anyone listening to find at least 1 idea that they can implement that moment, or the next day to either save them time, create larger capacity of volunteering in their organization, or empower them to add volunteers in their own work. A practical talk with many take-away points.

She has been the president of the Delaware Association of Volunteer Administrators (DAVA) 4 years and supporting in other roles in other years.
