Join us as we celebrate International Volunteer Managers Day with a special event recognising and uplifting the incredible mahi of volunteer managers across our community.This year’s theme is: Be Bold. Make Change.
Our celebratory event will take place on:
•Thursday 6th November 2025 (N.B: IVMD is the 5th but the Funding Expo is on that day, so had to push a day later)
•11:00am – 1:00pm
•Western Community Centre, Hamilton
The event will feature an engaging panel of volunteer managers who will share their insights, challenges, and memorable moments. You’ll also hear from our inspiring guest speaker, Kylee Black from Kylee & Co.
There will be plenty of time to connect and mingle with others over lunch in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
