For the last several months, I have worked with a group of national leaders in the nonprofit, government, philanthropy and business communities on the Reimagining Service Task Force, and now we need your help! With the growing momentum behind American’s commitment to serve, this Task Force is focused on increasing the impact of those who serve. Our work is targeted against all sectors with the goal of positioning volunteers to drive real, positive outcomes that address our communities’ toughest problems.

We aim to convert good intentions into greater impact.

As a first step, we have created a report outlining our specific ideas for Reimagining Service, along with suggested strategies for implementing the ideas. The report is accessible on our Web site: www.ReimaginingService.org. The Web site also includes an online opportunity to provide comments for all of the identified ideas, as well as add others for the group's consideration.

Please visit the site, review the Report, and provide us with your input on our ideas and strategies by November 20th. We are interested in your thoughts on making the ideas actionable, your experiences in the field, and your lessons learned.

We look forward to your feedback and ideas on Reimagining Service.
