The NOVAA Learning Community

Volunteer management professionals gathering around relevant topics to both teach and learn from their peers in facilitated conversations.

The NOVAA Learning Community is a members-only benefit and is a rebirth of the Advanced Practitioners member benefit.

Learning Community sessions focus on one relevant topic at a time. The sessions start out with a short presentation or panel discussion, followed by Q&A and an open facilitated discussion. All members are welcome to the NOVAA Learning Community, but participants are expected to review any pre-session reading assignments and be prepared for advanced discussions.
