Skilled Volunteer Meet

**SPECIAL EVENT AND LAUNCH by the City of Boroondara **

Could a skilled volunteer assist your organisation on a project or as a Board or Committee member?

Then come along to the Skilled Volunteer Meet!

Join us at this networking event to launch the Boroondara Volunteer Skills Bank, an exciting new initiative of the City of Boroondara connecting community organisations with skilled professionals.

Community organisations will:

• meet skilled professionals who can volunteer on projects you may lack the time or skills to undertake

• connect with Boroondara residents who want to contribute their skills and experience as a Board or Committee member

• be part of the launch of the Boroondara Volunteer Skills Bank.
