National Conference on Volunteering and Service
Conference on Volunteering Opens in San Francisco
The 2009 National Conference on Volunteering and Service kicked off today in San Francisco, attracting nonprofit, government, and corporate officials who want to get Americans more involved in community service.
The event comes just two months after a landmark piece of legislation to expand volunteer efforts was signed into law by President Obama.
First Lady Michele Obama is scheduled to give the keynote address, and we’ll provide highlights as soon as they are available. We’ll also provide regular updates as the conference continues through Wednesday.
The conference is sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Points of Light Institute, a volunteer and civic-engagement group.
