Points of Light Board Member Gregg Petersmeyer has dedicated his life to service, shaping the national movement for civic engagement. As the founding director of the White House Office of National Service, he played a key role in helping President George H.W. Bush elevate civic engagement and social entrepreneurship—contributing to the creation of the first daily presidential recognition program and the establishment of the Points of Light Foundation.
Marking the milestone of our 8000th #DailyPointofLight Award honoree just a few weeks ago, we asked Gregg why he believes this award has had such a lasting impact.
In honor of our 35th anniversary, we celebrate Gregg and all our board members who generously give their time and talents to advance our mission and inspire service. #35YearsofLight
