I will spend today in a meeting with representatives of the White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation, the White House Office of Public Engagement, the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and various foundations.

See the longer version<\/a>; the Huff Post summary<\/a>; and a relevant C-SPAN broadcast<\/a> from last summer. But of course I will be listening with an open mind, learning, and trying to be helpful in the meeting today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I will spend today in a meeting with representatives of the White House Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation, the White House Office of Public Engagement, the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and various foundations.
