The State of Service

The MassINC Associate Board and the AmeriCorps Alums Boston Chapter, are hosting a “State of Service” discussion on June 8th, 2010 from 8 – 10 am at the UMass Club in Boston. The event will feature a keynote and facilitated discussions led by community leaders in the private sector, nonprofit sector, government, and philanthropy. 

The “State of Service” event will be the first in an ongoing series through the summer and fall of 2010 which will bring together leaders from across the service community to discuss their experiences and develop a blueprint of best practices with a goal of improving service in Massachusetts and establishing a state service model for the nation.

MassINC Associate Board: The Board evolved from MassINC’s successful RealTalk program, and will build and expand upon the theme of engagement among young people in the Commonwealth.  The MassINC Associate Board’s mission is to build a new generation of civically engaged leaders for the Commonwealth and the nation.  Board members serve as advisors to MassINC’s research, journalism and civic event programs.

AmeriCorps Alums – Boston Chapter: The AmeriCorps Alums Boston Chapter is a community of experienced volunteer leaders who share a commitment to a vision of a more perfect America.  Nationally, we are a network of over half a million alumni from AmeriCorps national service programs (including NCCC, State/National, VISTA and pre-AmeriCorps VISTA). Our mission is to fully realize the potential of national service alumni as leaders in communities. Our goal is to get alumni connected, equipped and engaged in order to foster their leadership drive and potential. We also aim to support current AmeriCorps Members in their professional and leadership development.
