Request for Proposals

Nov 4, 2010 By Points of Light

In recent years, we have had an incredible line-up of prestigious speakers, including First Lady Michelle Obama, artist Jon Bon Jovi, actress and activist Ruby Dee, civil rights icons John Lewis and Andrew Young, comedian John Oliver, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and California First Lady Maria Shriver.

We would like to invite you to join this impressive list of speakers at the 2011 National Conference on Volunteering and Service in New Orleans, LA, June 6-8.

Please join us in sharing your experience and expertise by presenting a session during this year’s conference. These sessions are a platform for showcasing innovative programs, new ideas, and proven methodologies.

Deadline for Submitting Proposals is midnight EST on November 29, 2010.
