Best Volunteer Opportunities for Career Counselors
First it was Hurricane Katrina, then Hurricane Rita. These were terrible disasters, but they were followed by an outpouring of concern, contributions and volunteerism reminding us of the generous spirit of the American people. It inspired MAC/LPN to ask ourselves what we could do now and what career counselors do every day to give back to our communities.
Join us for a challenging discussion of volunteer activities your fellow counselors are doing. Meet a panel of four people from a variety of nonprofit organizations who will talk about how career counselors have helped them carry out their missions. Share what you do as well and, if interested, get involved with these groups.

Panel
   • Fran Becker, Executive Director of Carpenter's Shelter, Northern Virginia's largest homeless program;
   • Tom Morris, President, Morris Associates Inc., and head of SURGE (Survival Understanding Recovery Growth through Employment) for ACP International/DC Chapter;
   • Bob Michon, United States Peace Corps, Returned Volunteer Career Center, providing resource development and transitional assistance for returning Peace Corps Volunteers; and
   • Bob Rudney, Chair of EXCEL! Networking Group, Inc., a non-profit, self-help career development and educational organization created by people with disabilities for people with disabilities in the Washington, DC area.
