In June, PwC was honored to participate in the world's largest gathering of volunteer and service leaders from the nonprofit, government and corporate sectors. During this event, we had an opportunity to speak alongside such leaders as First Lady Michelle Obama, Governor Schwarzenegger, Speaker Pelosi, Jon Bon Jovi and others at this star-studded conference.
