Community Leaders Briefing Series – The ONE Campaign

December 9, 2011 will forever remain ingrained in my memory. It happens to be the day I stepped in the White House and participated in my first White House Community Leaders Briefing Series with the ONE Campaign.

The day began with an East Wing Tour of the White House. At the beginning of the tour, we were handed a greeting letter from the President and First Lady which made clear the emphasis this Administration puts on public service. 

In the letter the President stated, “This holiday season, we recognize that each one of us holds the power to make a difference in our world through service to one another, whether we serve in uniform to protect all that we hold dear, or share our gifts in our classrooms and neighborhoods. Each act of service touches others in ways we may never see, while guiding us toward an ever-brightening future”.
