Full About – Rethinking Service*

about how current events (pandemic, social unrest, etc) has affected and likely will affect “service” in all its forms and in all areas. With a highly accessible and robust collection of thoughts, we will be able to brainstorm possibilities for the best future of “service” across different areas.
