The National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service is the first entity in history charged with conducting comprehensive and holistic review of all forms of service to the Nation. In 2017, Congress charged the Commission with two primary tasks: to conduct a review of the military selective service process and to consider methods to increase participation in military, national, and public service in order to address national security and other public service needs of the Nation. 

After two and a half years of extensive research, public hearings, and conversations with Americans across the country, we will release our final report, Inspired to Serve, to the Congress, the President, and the American public on March 25.

We invite you to join us on March 26, 2020 at 9:30 a.m., in-person or remotely, as we discuss our findings and recommendations and the path forward for this bold vision and comprehensive plan for the military selective service process and strengthening military, national, and public service in America. 

Our vision is that by working together, every American will be inspired and eager to serve. Join us as we discuss our plan to make this vision a reality.

This event will be livestreamed. Whether you’re joining us in person or tuning in, RSVP!

This event is OPEN press. Media interested in attending should RSVP to media@inspire2serve.gov.

Individuals who plan on attending this event and require accommodations should contact the Commission at 703-571-3742 or info@inspire2serve.gov at least 5 business days in advance to make arrangements.
