REGISTRATION NOW OPEN for 2011 Professional Credentialing

Individuals seeking to earn the CVA (Certified in Volunteer Administration) credential in 2011 may now register.  This unique, international, performance-based program recognizes practitioners with at least 3 years of experience in the field of volunteer resources management.  Originally developed decades ago by the Association for Volunteer Administration, the CVA program is now sponsored by the Council for Certification in Volunteer Administration.

Registration for the next cycle will remain open until March 1, 2011.  (Register by December 31 and save money with the special Early Bird discount!)  Candidates registering for this cycle will be expected to take the on-line Exam at local sites in May 2011, and will have until December 2011 to complete the written Portfolio component.  This is a self-study process, requiring no travel or special classes.

To get started, visit the CCVA web site at www.cvacert.org to read testimonials from recent CVAs and print a copy of the 2011 Candidate Handbook and registration form.  Specific questions can be directed to CCVA at 804-794-8689 or ccva@comcast.net

“Completing the CVA has given me the confidence needed to challenge myself to continue in my chosen career path.”

“I have been in the non-profit field for 20+ years as an executive, all of which involved working with volunteers at some level, and I learned SO MUCH going through this process – both the knowledge level and also about myself and my personal philosophies.”

“I loved the process of acquiring my CVA! I found it personally enriching and professionally valuable. I now have many more resources and abilities at my disposal. I recommend the experience for anyone who is prepared to cultivate their abilities as a professional volunteer manager.”
