President Obama Tuesday signed into law legislation to encourage national service that aims to increase the AmeriCorps program from 75,000 to 250,000 members.
The action came on the same day Obama announced his intention to nominate Maria Eitel to be CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service, which runs AmeriCorps and other programs such as Senior Corps.
Eitel is president of the Nike Foundation and is a vice president of Nike, Inc. According to a White House release, she helped lead the foundation's work to increase opportunities for the world's most disadvantaged girls. Nike has been criticized for harsh labor conditions at its plants in the developing world.
Before she became president of the foundation, she was Nike's first vice president for corporate responsibility. Before going to Nike, she worked at Microsoft and was deputy director of media relations and was a special assistant to the president in the administration of former President George H.W. Bush.
"Maria is a smart and innovative thinker, and a leader who shares my belief in the power of service," Obama said at the bill-signing at the SEED School of Washington.

This was a genuinely extremely great post. In theory I’d like to write like this also - getting Hermes Handbags and actual effort to make a excellent piece of writing… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and by no means seem to obtain something done.

So many people to hire and so much money to spend... Is it worth it? Black Friday shows the real situation on the market.
