Post-Convention: Projects Abroad

And yet another company who attended the Convention has blogged about us!

This post is from Projects Abroad, a nonprofit that places volunteers in projects all over the world.

NSCS Convention: Aftermath Part I

Remember a while ago when I wrote a post about FirstBook, a literacy-oriented nonprofit? Two of the company’s reps were at the Convention, and one of them wrote a glowing post on their blog about the Convention. It’s a great summation of what the Convention was all about.

And just like that…

.. it’s all over.

Look for pictures in the coming days of the Convention, as well as the closing session. And be sure to email me at someshwar at nscs dot org , to share your convention experiences.

See you next year in Orlando!

Closing keynote

I just shook hands with a NYC deputy mayor (Dennis Walcott).  He’s a really nice person, in case you were wondering. I’ll have more on his speech after I attend it.

What a Convention!

At the second annual NSCS Leadership Summit in 1997, there were 13 people—including two staff members and two members of the board of directors. How far we’ve come in ten years!

Our first Member Convention/Leadership Summit has been an amazing experience. Miss America, a NASA astronaut, a runner-up on Donald Trump’s The Apprentice, and the Deputy Mayor of New York—all featured speakers at the convention.

There’s been great energy here this week and members seem to be getting a lot from the presentations and the exhibitors.

Last night, attendees were very amused by Tom DeLuca, a hypnotist with a knack for getting volunteers to do crazy things and subsequently creating constant laughs.

Stay tuned for an update on today’s events and more recollections from the 2007 NSCS Member Convention and Leadership Summit!
