2010 National Conference on Citizenship

BIG Citizenship: Citizens as Catalysts and Innovators

April 12, 2010
Individuals everywhere are self-organizing to meet community needs, demanding transparency and accountability from elected officials and greater social responsibility from corporations.

The 2010 National Conference on Citizenship, “BIG Citizenship: Citizens as Catalysts and Innovators,” will explore the powerful role civic innovators are playing in fostering societies that are informed, engaged, giving and trusting.

Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will participate in a keynote conversation. TIME Magazine Managing Editor Rick Stengel will receive the “Citizen of the Year” Award. For the third year, the Conference will also feature a Naturalization Ceremony, with the Oath of Citizenship administered by DC Chief Judge Royce C. Lamberth.
