Lutheran AmeriCorps Honored at the White House

Last Friday the White House held an appreciation event for 150 AmeriCorps alumni leaders from across the country. These 150 alumni, out of more than 700,000 nationally, represented their home AmeriCorps and Community HealthCorps programs for a special day-long briefing that highlighted the importance of national service. Howard Liebers (http://about.me/liebers), MPH, and Neal Gorman both represented Lutheran HealthCare. Howard was a standout Lutheran Family Health Centers Community HealthCorps member and is now director of policy for the DC Primary Care Association. Neal Gorman, LHC VP of Public Relations, served two terms in Buffalo, NY and is a chapter leader of AmeriCorps Alums NYC.
