Points of View

None of us involved with e-Volunteerism are short of opinions. In fact, we seriously considered emblazoning the slogan "Insight with Attitude" across our masthead. The Points of View section is devoted to the exchange of opinions, viewpoints, attitudes and, we hope, insight. Within it, we discuss the political, social, ethical and managerial issues that underlie volunteering.

You'll see a variety of formats.  Editors  Contributors offer pro and con opinions on a critical question or present shared observations. Sometimes they argue passionately for what they believe; at other times they play devil's advocates attacking sacred cows. Most of the conversations  feature Susan Ellis and Steve McCurley, neither of whom has ever lacked an opinion, but from time to time also feature guest commentators.

Although we have a lot to say, we don't necessarily want to have the last word. We believe in involvement and we want to know what you think about what we write. So please feel free to "virtually" speak up and add your own views, opinions, and insights to make this a truly lively discussion.
