Service Nation Summit

On September 11 and 12, 2008, leaders convened at Columbia University to discuss the present and future of Service in America. The evening of the 11th included an historic live television event featuring Senators McCain and Obama. They each answered similar questions regarding their views of service and ways in which they will incorporate those views in their respective administrations. The date, coinciding with the seventh anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, served as a foundation and reminder of the spirit of togetherness and service to others that existed following that tragedy. A common theme was the desire to harness that type of energy to serve the common good.

The following day included keynote speeches from First Lady Laura Bush, Senator Hatch, Caroline Kennedy, Mayor Bloomberg, Jon Bon Jovi and Senator Clinton to name a few.
