Join DOVA

    The Directors of Volunteers Association (DOVA) is the only professional organization of its kind in the Big Bend area that serves as a resource for volunteer managers. DOVA offers individuals and agencies the opportunity to network with similar professionals. DOVA encourages professional development and problem solving amongst its members.

    VolunteerLEON is the membership coordinator for the association and we encourage agencies to take advantage of the opportunity to share, learn and enjoy the fellowship of your colleagues by participating in their workshops, luncheons and special projects throughout the year. 

    Preparedness and Mobilization in 2011

    For the 2011 calendar year, the Directors of Volunteers Association will focus on preparedness and mobilization, both of volunteers and our own membership! Hosts and speakers in 2011 will focus on best practices to better prepare and motivate volunteers both in day-to-day programs and in cases of emergency.
