The time has finally arrived for the 2009 National Conference on Volunteering and Service, civic.energy.generation. I’ve been looking forward to the conference since last year’s hallmark gathering in Atlanta! I’m convinced that this conference will be our most eco-friendly, tech-savvy and inspirational one yet, with engaging expert speakers, live text message updates and guest appearances by several high-profile change makers and celebrities. San Francisco, a city known for innovation and novelty, will be an ideal backdrop for this exhilarating event.
