Maine’s First Lady Ann LePage to Address the National Conference on Volunteering and Service in Washington, DC

Mrs. LePage Talks About the Positive Effect of National Service and Volunteerism In Maine

 

AUGUSTA– On Friday, June 21, Maine’s First Lady Ann M. LePage will participate in a “Fireside Chat” during the National Conference on Volunteering and Service at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC.

She will be joined by the First Ladies of Rhode Island and Nebraska, to discuss their strong leadership on service and volunteering. Addressing over 4,000 National Service leaders and volunteers from around the country, First Lady LePage will talk about the positive impact of national service on Maine communities and those who serve. Specifically, she will focus on her volunteerism with Maine’s veterans, our service men and women, and services provided to Maine’s elderly. Maine has a devoted network of National Service volunteers numbering over 3,900.

“I am so honored and humbled to be asked to share the stage with First Ladies Sally Ganem of Nebraska and Stephanie Chafee of Rhode Island,” Mrs. LePage said. “Maine is a rural state, and it is critical that we all work together to meet the needs of our community members. Government alone cannot do this. We must come together as a state – as Mainers – to lend our neighbors a helping hand.”
