The beauty of being with other press is that we all like to talk. And the more we talk (or Twitter), the more questions come up about the nature of service.
The program's about to start, so I can't dive in now, but here's some food for thought we'll flesh out in the future:
* If you offer financial incentives for volunteering, are you somehow diminishing the volunteerism?
* How much should government get involved in service? Specifically, how much should they put taxpayer funds toward it?
* Are the terms service and volunteerism really interchangeable? Is one the umbrella for the other?
* What's the role of altruism in serving? Do incentives change people's motives?
Ok, we're starting --- tune in to Twitter to follow the action! (hash tag #sn08)
