Much has been going on in recent weeks that will impact the greater AmeriCorps community. The Michigan’s AmeriCorps Member Council blog would like to share that news with you as we embark on the 2009-2010 year of service.
Earlier this month President Barack Obama announced his intention to nominate Patrick Corvington to be the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS).
Patrick Corvington currently serves at the Annie E. Casey Foundation as a Senior Associate responsible for guiding the foundation’s grantees on issues related to leadership development, next generation leadership, and capacity building. In addition to that, he also serves as Senior Advisor to the Foundation’s Executive Vice President, Ralph Smith. Prior to his current position, Corvington was the Executive Director of Innovation Network from 2003 to 2005. Innovation Network is a nonprofit agency whose mission is to build the evaluation capacity of the nonprofit sector.
He has a strong connection to service, volunteerism, and advocacy and has devoted his life to serving and empowering communities.
Would you like to be a peer grant reviewer? CNCS could use your help!
Are you looking for an opportunity for professional development and service? The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is seeking peer reviewers to assist in the review of its competitive grant applications.
A diverse group of people with expertise in a variety of areas who can assess the quality of grant applications are needed. Reviewers should be comfortable reading a large volume of material in a short period of time and be capable of providing in-depth individual analysis and participating in small group discussions. Reviewers could include members of the national service community, educators, researchers, volunteers, and others.
Reviewers are needed on an on-going basis; feel free to visit http://www.nationalservice.gov/egrants/peer_review.asp for more information and to submit your name.
