The sixth-annual National Service Recognition Day will take place on Tuesday, April 2, 2019. This initiative is led by the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), the National League of Cities, the National Association of Counties, and Cities of Service. Mayors and city leaders, county officials, and tribal leaders across the country are using national service more and more to solve their community’s toughest challenges. CNCS, America’s leader in volunteering and service efforts, engages over 325,000 AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers in national service at more than 50,000 locations each year. Through partnerships with schools, faith-based groups, non-profits, and local agencies, national service members are embedded within the communities they serve, using their ingenuity and training to make a tangible, lasting impact. Whether responding to natural disasters, tackling the opioid epidemic, educating students for the 21st century workforce, or supporting veterans and military families, AmeriCorps members and Senior Corps volunteers help local leaders make their communities stronger. City staff has prepared for a committee recognition event for April 3, 2019 to recognize all of our city related volunteer committee members. A Proclamation is attached.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Proclaim April 2, 2019, as National Service Recognition Day and authorize the Mayor to sign the proclamation.  RECORD OF COUNCIL ACTION  MEETING DATE ACTION
