AUSTRALIA 
AAVA AWARD OF EXCELLENCE - AAVA, the Australasian Association of Volunteer Administrators have come on board to support IVM Day and are providing an avenue through which organisations can extend the cheering section to beyond the VPMs themselves.
To recognise excellence in the profession, AAVA will announce an annual Australasian Administrator Award of Excellence on November 5 each year.
AAVA plans to hold this award as an annual event and believes that it is most appropriate to announce the winner on such a significant date for Volunteer Program Managers.
