Webinar - Emergency volunteering 2030 by Dr Blythe McLennan

How do managers that have responsibilities for volunteerism in Australian emergency management organisations (EMOs) see the future of emergency volunteering?

This webinar by Dr Blythe McLennan is based on interviews with 34 managers from volunteer-based response and recovery EMOs, and with organisations that support or coordinate formal emergency management volunteering. It will explore how these managers currently understand the key challenges and opportunities for volunteer sustainability across the emergency management sector, and what change they feel is most needed to enable a vibrant, sustainable emergency volunteer capacity into the future.

A full report of these interview findings is due for release in February. The report is just the first in a series of reports that is exploring different perspectives on the future of emergency volunteering in Australia. This webinar will include a 20-minute presentation, followed by an opportunity for attendees to comment and ask questions.
