We are just 6 days away from Executive Forum 2023. I am so excited for the Region Volunteers who have been nominated to attend. I look forward to meeting many of you for the first time in person, and reconnecting with those of you I've known for years. This network is so special! #advancingallwomen#forum2023#standupstandout

As #IVCO2023 conference approaches, explore our Blog Series brought to you by Forum and Yayasan Sukarelawan Siswa (YSS). We've been sharing insightful posts for the past three weeks leading up to IVCO in October. We will continue to post weekly blogs each Wednesday as they delve into our conference theme, "A New Generation of Volunteers as Changemakers," and aim to spark pre-conference reflection.
We have published three blogs so far, including:
- Not Aliens, But Allies, by Dr Ksenija Fonovic (CSV Lazio)
- Reimagining Volunteering Needs a Decolonisation Lens – Here Is What We Should Be Cautious Of, by Dr Amjad Mohamed Saleem (the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFRC)
- Unveiling The Heart Of Change: Measuring Impact In The Volunteering Realm, by Ahmad Faiz Yazid (YSS Alumni / Youth Volunteer)

Though there's no clear information about the reasons behind the closure, it's always tough to see an organization with a positive impact go.
Do you know of any other organizations with a similar mission?

The development sector is all about making a positive impact on the world, and one of the key factors that can help drive that impact is association. By connecting with others who share our vision and values, we can leverage our collective strengths and achieve more than we ever could on our own.
Some few ways that association can help drive growth in the development sector includes:
Collaboration: By working together with other organizations and individuals, we can share knowledge, resources, and expertise to tackle complex challenges and achieve greater impact.
Innovation: When we bring diverse perspectives and experiences together, we can spark new ideas and innovative solutions to the world's most pressing problems.
Amplified impact: By joining forces, we can reach more people, achieve greater scale, and ultimately make a bigger difference in the world.
So if you're passionate about making a positive impact, don't go it alone. Connect with others, join forces, and see what amazing things you can achieve together.
How has association helped you achieve greater impact in the development sector?

This is a great article on the value of networking at conferences, but I particularly love the call out on social connection and working together towards a common goal. It's timely since this was exactly what our panel talked about yesterday -- the value of connecting on a personal level, finding common ground with people in your network, and helping others achieve their goals. Great find, Ana Gosseen! Thanks for sharing!

This event checklist covers:
📍 Selecting a venue
🥗 Selecting a caterer
🎤 Selecting guest speakers and creating event flow
📣 Education and awareness
🧍Considering your attendees
🌳 Environment and sustainability
