Volunteer Management
Leaders and managers of volunteer programs as well as volunteers themselves meet here to focus on ways to promote and enhance the work of volunteers within hospice and palliative care, sharing ideas for volunteer engagement and involvement and advocating for the importance of volunteerism.
