When? GRAVA holds monthly membership meetings from 8:30am – 10:30am on the first Thursday of every month (except July, August and December). The first 30 minutes are reserved for breakfast and networking, followed by a 90-minute program.
Where? Due to COVID19, all meetings are currently held on Zoom! We rotate meeting locations between spaces donated by our member organizations. This keeps your costs low, and gives you a great chance to hear about the great work being done across our community!
How much? Free for members, $5 for non-members at the door. Cost includes breakfast (and yes, plenty of coffee!)
Workshops are run by invited speakers who are local experts in topics relevant to volunteer management. Designed to provide members with bite size, tangible resources to apply immediately in their everyday practice. Workshops will provide content and exercises for real world-skills with the potential for immediate application.
Interested in serving as an expert facilitator or know someone who would? Interested in having your organization host a GRAVA meeting (need space for 50-60)? Contact the GRAVA Board.
