A Note from the DOVIA Colorado Board

The 2020 VIRTUAL Colorado Conference on Volunteerism
 
With crisis comes opportunity – to learn, to connect, and to become even better. We, at DOVIA Colorado, are determined to build a virtual conference
that will empower, inspire, and support you and your organization.
 
It is not lost on us that the in-person networking is a crucial piece of this event. We value seeing your faces, sharing ideas and being able to greet friends in person. We are committed to creating as many ways as possible to establish connection and community despite the distance an e-platform creates. THANK YOU for all the hard work you do across our Colorado communities, engaging your volunteers and connecting them to powerful missions across the state. You are awesome!
