• The Complete Guide to Professional Practice in Volunteer Administration This long awaited, 18-chapter textbook was created by the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration (CCVA), the only certification body covering volunteer resources management. It is the only comprehensive reference book and guide on the administration and management of volunteers as they are utilized by any organization, be it not-for-profit organizations, public sector agencies or all-volunteer organizations. The book explores the five core competencies that serve as a foundation for the profession of volunteer administration: ethics, organizational management, human resources management, accountability, and leadership and advocacy. It provides a solid theoretical framework and professional context for how to properly lead and manage volunteer engagement. This book: * Provides full coverage of volunteer management and administration, ensuring a thorough understanding of the concepts and principles that define managers, leaders and professionals in this field * Explores the topic of ethics and the ability to act in accordance with professional principles * Discusses organizational management as a way of designing and implementing policies, processes and structures to align volunteer involvement with the mission and vision of the organization * Presents human resource management as a way of engaging, training and supporting volunteers in a systematic and intentional way * Explores the principle of accountability and the ability to collect relevant data and to engage in meaningful monitoring, evaluation and reporting to stakeholders * Discusses leadership and advocacy skills that advance individual, organizational and community goals
