IAVE Launches Search for Future Conference Sites

IAVE has begun the process for identifying host organizations for the 2018 World Volunteer Conference and World Youth Volunteer Conference and for the 2017 Asia Pacific Regional Volunteer and Youth Volunteer Conferences. (Yes, we begin this far in advance!)

 

The 2018 World Conferences

Later this month, the formal Call for Proposals will be sent to all IAVE members, all national leadership organizations for volunteering and select international NGOs. Potential applicants are asked to submit a “statement of interest” to enable us to work with them to determine whether they will ultimately submit a formal proposal.

The process calls for proposals to be submitted by November 30, 2015; for the search committee to complete its work and make its recommendation to the IAVE board of directors in April 2016; and, for the next host to be announced at the conclusion of the 2016 World Conferences in Mexico in November.

The search team is chaired by IAVE’s Vice President, Eugen Baldas (Germany), who also is Regional Representative for Europe to the IAVE board. Iraida Manzanilla (Venezuela), Regional Representative for Latin America, and Mark Molloy (Scotland), are the other members of the team. Secretariat support is provided by Kenn Allen, IAVE Senior Consultant.

The 2017 Asia Pacific Conference

The 15th biennial IAVE regional conferences for Asia Pacific will be held in Hanoi, Vietnam in October. It is custom to announce the host organization for the next conference at the conclusion of the current one. To accomplish that this year, IAVE has distributed a Call for Proposals to our National Representatives throughout the region. The process calls for a “statement of interest” to be followed by the formal proposal which is due to the IAVE Secretariat by July 15.

The selection team is chaired by Yoonae Park, Regional Representative for Asia Pacific to IAVE’s board of directors, and will include two National Representatives from countries not bidding for the conference. Secretariat support is provided by Kenn Allen, IAVE Senior Consultant.

For more information or to receive the Call for Proposals, please email [email protected].
