Haines is a commissioner on the National Commission on Military, National and Public Service, which was created in 2017 to develop ideas to foster a greater culture of military, national and public service among Americans and, in the process, strengthen our democracy and cultivate a national conversation.
Appearing with Haines will be Paul Lekas, former Department of Defense official and general counsel for the commission. They will share findings of the commission’s interim report — released in January — and discuss potential changes to the Selective Service System, including whether women could be required to register for the draft.
