PAVMI: The Professional Association of Volunteer Managers Ireland
PAVMI is the network of managers, both voluntary and paid, who spend the majority of their time coordinating the work of volunteers.
By communicating regularly and pooling resources, the network aims to:
- Provide mutual support
- Share knowledge and experience about good practice in volunteer management
- Provide a voice for the volunteer coordinator in Ireland
- Advocate for the development of accredited training courses and standardisation of career structures in volunteer management.
- Develop national recognition for the work of professionals in the field of volunteer management.
- Promote best practice in volunteer management.
- Develop infrastructure that will facilitate in opening lines of communication and sharing of information.
PAVMI is the Professional Association of Volunteer Managers Ireland, and is facilitated and administered by Volunteering Ireland. The importance of having a peer support forum for those individuals in organisations with responsibility for recruiting and retaining volunteers was first raised during a 1999 training workshop entitled 'Mission impossible?'. The network had its inaugural meeting in 2000. PAVMI has a national steering committee with representatives from across Ireland. It organises national events, regional meetings and promotes other ways of networking.
