Mandatory Volunteer Coordinators
President Bush has given each agency 20 days to designate officials at or above the minimum level of pay for Senior Executive Service members to serve as "liaisons for volunteer community service." The idea, the president said in an executive order, is to "help ensure that the federal government supports and encourages" such service. Bush's order comes during what he has declared to be National Volunteer Week. Earlier in the week, the Office of Personnel Management issued a notice highlighting its guidance on employee participation in volunteer activities.
