For the past five years, I've coordinated the NTEN/NTC Day of Service and before that participated as a volunteer. Volunteers had the option to do a strategy consult and stay at the hotel or leave the building and go on-site. I think it might help to do some more vetting for the strategy consults and match the pairs in advance.

The NTC is an event largely attended by Americans (and our gentle neighbors to the North). We're still not sure what the right way forward is - more straight up service projects, back to the one on one consults? What we WILL do is make this an issue we can discuss as a community when NTC planning picks up this summer.

One thing I keep hearing over and over again is how frustrating it is to be from a small organization (under $1 million budget) at the NTC. There's no better place for that than the NTC. I used to say it's like window shopping on Rodeo Drive when you have a Target budget. So you have to be ready to have your dream fulfilled.
