About IAVE National Representatives

The responsibilities of a national representative are as follows:

1. Promote IAVE as a worldwide leadership organization for volunteering.
2. Serve as a representative and advocate for IAVE in your country.
3. Act as a main point of contact for IAVE and IAVE members in your country.
4. Support and develop IAVE membership in appropriate ways in your country.
5. Build contacts for IAVE in other key agencies and organizations in your country.
6. Encourage active participation in IAVE regional and world conferences.

The usual term of office for IAVE national representatives is two years, from one World Conference to the next.

National representatives can either be organizations or individuals.

IAVE recognizes that circumstances vary widely in different countries, and that the role of our representatives is also likely to be different in different countries.
