A Billion + Change inspires the largest commitment of pro bono service in history. Read more about this and see who's taken the pledge.

Last week, more than 170 leaders in industry, policy and civic engagement convened at A Billion + Change's national forum in Washington, D.C. to discuss the power of corporate skills-based volunteerism to meet the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. Thank you to everybody who joined us to make this day, and A Billion + Change's 200 pledge company announcement, so special! Here is a recap of what folks said at the Forum and on Twitter during our special event:
