Voluntary Sector Studies Network conference

The next Voluntary Sector Studies Network (VSSN) conference, hosted by The Open University Business School, will take place from 10.30 to 16.00 at the Michael Young Building in Milton Keynes on Thursday 19 May 2011.

The broad theme is 'new forms of voluntary action' and the programme will include papers by: Rob Paton, Meta Zimmick and Colin Rochester; Martha Cadell and Rosemarie Mcilwhan; Nick Ockenden, Joanne Stuart and Matthew Hill; Haider Ali, Marylyn Carrigan and Sally Dibb.

If you wish to attend, please complete the booking form on the VSSN website www.vssn.org.uk/events/booking/index.htm before Thursday 12 May 2011.

The cost will be £30 for VSSN members and £60 for non-members. Concessions are £20 and are available to those VSSN members without institutional support (i.e. those with no access to conference/travel budgets). This will cover morning coffee, a buffet lunch, afternoon tea and a small contribution to VSSN funds.

If you are not a member, we encourage you to join - annual membership fees are on a sliding scale according to gross personal income and include annual subscription to VSSN's journal Voluntary Sector Review: http://www.vssn.org.uk/join/index.htm
