The past year has brought many challenges for volunteer engagement leaders that we may be eager to put in the past. It's time to work together to imagine the future of volunteer engagement: Out with the old, in with the BOLD. Let's focus on boldly taking a seat at the table where decisions are being made. Let's make the bold decision to dismantle the barriers put up around volunteering. And let's boldly acknowledge the strength and creativity we've gained amidst challenges - and continue to flex those muscles, stand up for volunteerism and shape the field to be better than ever.

At the 2021 MAVA Virtual Conference, Dana will be giving a Keynote address “Carve Your Own Path,” as well as leading the Session “High Tech, High Touch: Finding the Balance in Volunteer Engagement.”
