	Professional Development
		SCAVA sponsors two professional conferences each year, in which members share resources and ideas, while learning new skills. Additional educational and professional development workshops may be offered throughout the year. SCAVA's Conference Committee brings nationally and regionally known speakers to its conferences and workshops in South Carolina. This gives workshop participants first-hand knowledge on vital issues and exposure to leaders in the field.

	Education
		Your SCAVA membership opens doors to state and national concerns on volunteerism. Membership in SCAVA brings you a national voice by way of membership in the Association for Volunteer Administration (AVA). Through newsletters (Volunteerism Network), reports, and bulletins, SCAVA members are kept abreast of key issues facing volunteer administrators, volunteerism and the profession of volunteer administration. SCAVA's member survey is the only source of salary information pertaining to the state's volunteerism profession. The most recent survey is the 2004 Member Survey.
