Support the World’s Largest Conference on Volunteering and Service

Did you know that the world’s premier conference for nonprofit, government, and corporate organizations is coming to your community this summer? The National Conference on Volunteering and Service will be in New Orleans June 6 – 8, 2011. Because of the gulf coast’s keen understanding of the importance of volunteering and service to strengthen community bonds and take sustained action, the region’s largest city was not just the natural choice to host the 2011 gathering—it was the only choice.

Convened by Points of Light Institute and the Corporation for National and Community Service, the annual event provides attendees with an opportunity to learn, connect and be inspired through a wide range of exciting and informative plenary sessions, workshops, special events, service projects, exhibits, specialized corporate tracks and more. If you or your organization works with volunteers in any capacity, this is an event you and your constituents do not want to miss!
