Byron York - AmeriCorps scandal figure invited to AmeriCorps conference
Kevin Johnson is a former NBA star, the mayor of Sacramento, California, and a friend and political ally of Barack and Michelle Obama. He also misused hundreds of thousands of federal dollars at a non-profit educational organization he founded called St. HOPE.
In New York June 28, CNCS, parent organization of AmeriCorps, will convene the National Conference on Volunteering and Service. And one of the speakers who will address the group on the importance of service will be Kevin Johnson.
Johnson will speak at a forum entitled “Cities of Service: A New Approach to Urban Problem Solving.” According to the conference website, the forum will be “a high-level discussion about the expanding role of cities in the service movement, as more and more local governments use service as a strategy to address important challenges.”
