In twelve hours, the Council will convene for its all-Council public meeting for the second time in its brief history. Just like in February, the public session will be live streaming on WhiteHouse.gov. The morning will be a few hours of serious discussion on the challenges facing young people aged 16-24 who are neither engaged in school nor in work and what organizations and communities can do to take collective action to support them more effectively.
The past two days of work have been a marathon of managing logistics and getting materials together, mostly the behind-the-scenes work of making sure all the PowerPoint presentations are accurate and all the hard-copy versions all match them and include the necessary extra information. Today even involved that oh-so-typical intern task of grabbing a cab and rushing hot-off-the-printer materials to the Chairwoman of the Council when she needed them ASAP.
I'll have much more to talk about next week when we're all detoxing from the meeting tomorrow and have had time to process all of the 26-person discussion (and when all of the materials are publicly available!). Also, I'll begin crafting my summer-long projects next week, so that'll definitely be exciting.
