Greater Williamsburg Association for Volunteer Administration (G.W.A.V.A.) members recently met at the Virginia Living Museum VLM). Shandran J. Thornburgh, VLM volunteer services director, hosted the meeting. In addition to learning about the American kestrel, Ms. Thornburgh shared VLM’s efforts to better integrate volunteers into their organization, specifically through the Service Enterprise Initiative. As a certified Service Enterprise, the museum operates more efficiently and can offer better programs and services to their visitors.
The purpose of G.W.A.V.A. is to provide administrators of volunteer services with opportunities to further a career in volunteer administration, improve skills, enhance professionalism, and to exchange ideas and information. Additionally G.W.A.V.A. broadens community awareness of volunteerism and encourages involvement of volunteers in community service organizations, agencies, and institutions.
