What are you Aiming to Gain?
Submitted by servicewire on Wed, 06/09/2010 - 13:24
How many National Conference on Volunteering and Services have you been to?? None? One? Two? For me, it’s NINE conferences!!!!!!Nine conferences? Where did this last decade go? Since my first appearance at the National Conference on Service and Volunteering in Salt Lake City in 2002, I have been every year as an attendee and presenter. I have also exhibited in the past three years.I was reflecting today, as to what I have gained from this conference in the last nine years.

Today's guest post comes from workshop presenter Jon Mann. Enjoy!The cause every one of you is volunteering and working to address is directly related to an urgent problem America faces today. If there was a way to bring Americans together everywhere, to present and choose a plan the majority believe would help solve that problem, would you want to know about it?
