SOAR with NAVPLG
Kandy LeMoine, CVA The National Association of Volunteer Programs in Local Government (NAVPLG) is seeking member participation to complete a SOAR Analysis. Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Results (SOAR) analysis is a strategic planning tool that focuses an organization on its current strengths and vision of the future for developing its strategic goals (description from the American Society of Quality). The basic questions to be answered are:
- What are our greatest strengths? What makes us proud?
- What are our best opportunities? How do we make sense of the opportunities in our environment?
- What is our preferred future? What do we care deeply about?
- What are the measurable results that will tell us we’ve achieved our vision of the future? How do we know we are succeeding?
Representatives from all levels of the organization are welcome to shape the destiny of NAVPLG for the good fortune of volunteerism in municipalities and counties across the nation.
Please respond: SOAR WITH NAVPLG to President Kandy LeMoine, CVA, at klemoine@fmtn.org or (505) 599-1421, or president@navplg.org.

The annual meeting for The National Association of Volunteer Programs in Local Government (NAVPLG) was held on June 18 th at the Points of Light conference in St. Paul, MN. During the educational portion of this session panelists discussed building staff relations for your volunteer program, using a civic leadership program to cultivate volunteer leaders and lessons learned in emergency volunteer center management from the California wildfires. Attendees heard examples of excellent volunteer programs in local government, had an opportunity to network with those who work in this sector, and discussed challenges and opportunities common to city and county government. Next year's conference and NAVPLG session will be held in Washington, DC. More info here.
Free E-guide: Citywide Volunteer Engagement
Corina Sadler, CVA
VQ Volunteer Strategies has partnered with Offero to develop a new, free and downloadable guide designed to help government leaders (particularly leaders on city and county levels) build a case for a citywide engagement strategy. The guide was developed in response to inquiries and feedback that both parties have received as a leader in developing technologies to support municipal/county engagement.
NAVPLG board members Mary Lynn Perry (City of Sacramento, California) and Corina Sadler (City of Plano, Texas) are both featured in this guide.
To download your copy of the guide, visit Offero's website.
Thank you to both Volunteer Strategies and Offero for making this resource available and for including NAVPLG as a partner. |
