55th Wisconsin Volunteer Coordinators Association Conference
Join fellow Volunteer professionals at the 2026 WVCA Annual Conference. This year we will be once again offering a 3-hour pre-conference workshop lead by Traci Lato-Smith. This session will begin Wednesday afternoon and wrap up with our annual Wednesday Welcome.
Return on Thursday morning as we kick off the day with changemaker activator and educator, Amber Melanie Smith. Amber is a nonprofit founder that has served on her states Commission on Volunteerism for seven years. She has been where each of you are and is eager to share strategies on activating your volunteer's unique power to make an impact.
That is just the beginning! Don't miss this opportunity to connect with other volunteer professionals and engage in discussions around harnessing the power of people to create ripples of change.
Attendees will gain a practical framework for building and sustaining a high-impact volunteer program—from designing mission-aligned roles to recruiting, onboarding, and retaining the right volunteers. This session goes beyond scheduling to explore strategic volunteer engagement, including recognition, leadership development, and data-driven impact reporting. Participants will leave with concrete tools, templates, and actionable next steps to expand program capacity while strengthening community connections. more info...
