Mission:

The committee assists the association by representing the interests of Allied membership constituents, acting in a liaison role with IAVM staff to facilitate exchange of ideas and enhance business opportunity, which, in turn, helps IAVM become more successful.

 

Structure:

This is a management committee meaning it is constituted to meet regularly or on an “as needed” basis to provide input to staff to enable significant progress toward the Results Policies set by the Board of Directors.

  • Chair
  • Vice Chair
  • Committee Member appointments by the CEO

Vacancies should be filled no later than September 1 annually, to take office following VenueConnect.

 

Volunteer Code of Conduct:

Be Considerate

You are working with others as a team so be considerate of how your actions or contribution affects your colleagues and the association as a whole.

Be Respectful

Treat one another and members of the association with respect. Everyone can make a valuable contribution to IAVM. We may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior or poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. We expect the members of IAVM to be respectful when dealing with other volunteers as well as with people from other projects and initiatives.

Be Available

Check your e-mails regularly and answer them promptly—even if it’s “I’ll get back to you.”

Be Honest

Sometimes the hardest thing to say is “no” or admit you’ve forgotten to do something. Be honest with each other and yourself with regards to what you say and what you can realistically commit to.

Confidentiality

Volunteers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of all proprietary or privileged information to which they are exposed while serving as a volunteer, whether this information involves a single staff, volunteer, client, or other person or involves overall association business. Failure to maintain confidentiality may result in termination of the volunteer’s relationship with the committee or other corrective action.
