State of Service: The next chapter of service

Liberty Hotel, 215 Charles Street, Boston MA

May 12, 2011 @ 8:00 am - 10:00 am

After a months-long battle in Congress over the future of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) and service programs across the nation, the goal of the event is to build upon the strengths of the sector through dialogue around creating pipelines of human capital; effective advocacy for government funding; and communicating the impact of service.

The keynote will be delivered by Kristin McSwain, Executive Director, Boston Opportunity Agenda.

Kristin McSwain is the first Executive Director of the groundbreaking educational partnership Boston Opportunity Agenda, a historic collaboration among Greater Boston’s leading funders, the City of Boston and the Boston Public Schools.

Discussion groups will be led by community leaders from every sector, and participants will have the chance to join working groups to discuss ways to strengthen and promote service in Massachusetts over the coming months.

This event is made possible with generous support of The Highland Street Foundation and the support of the Massachusetts Service Alliance (MSA), who serves as the fiscal agent of the AmeriCorps Alums Boston Chapter.
