As many of you know, Katie and I are working on a third edition of By the People, [and] it came as no surprise that more developments have occurred in the past decade. Since this section of e-Volunteerism is titled "Voices from the Past," it seems relevant to present the chart to readers as a work-in-progress. We would love to tap your memories and archives to ensure that we produce the best time line possible, including the most pertinent organizations. For those of you who entered the field much more recently, we hope this look back at the roots of some of today's professional groups and resource providers will give you a better perspective of how we arrived at today's mix of organizations.
