Volunteer2 Demo
While in Christchurch, Andy Fryar will also demonstrate a highly customisable volunteer management software produced by Volunteer2. The session will take place on Friday August 6 in the Ballroom at Nurse Maude, 24 McDougall Ave, Merivale in Christchurch.
Volunteer2 enables organisations to better track their volunteer records, communicate with their team, record hours, produce reports and ensure all shifts are full! The sessions are free of both cost and obligation - so come along and investigate this product for yourself. You can book your place by contacting Sue Kobar at Nurse Maude on 03—375 4230 or suek@nursemaude.org.nz .
