Forms
- Social Media Share: Use this form if you have content you would like to request be shared on VeDA's social media platforms.
- Ambassador Activity Report: Let us know what you're doing to raise awareness! This helps us when reporting to donors, and motivates other volunteers.
- Volunteer Hours: Please report the number of hours you have spent volunteering with VeDA. This is used in grant and other financial reporting.
- Support Group Meeting Announcement: If you are a support group leader, please tell us when your next meeting is so we can help you promote it. If you meet on a regular basis (e.g. 1st Monday of every month) we can extrapolate all the dates. If you have a special topic for a particular meeting, let us know. These are included in our monthly e-blast, V-News.
- Support Group Attendance: As a member of the VSGN you are required to report the number of people who attend each support group. This is vital to our advocacy efforts, and may be used in research projects that track the effectiveness of support groups for people with vestibular disorders.
