2020 will be the most consequential election cycle of modern history. It will determine not only the political future of our nation, but also how politics are conveyed and how citizens’ responses will be the mirror that reflects who we are and where we’re going. Frank Sesno will discuss issues of politics, media and citizenship in the context of the questions we should be asking ourselves at this pivotal moment in American history. 

Frank's book, "Ask More: The Power of Questions to Open Doors, Uncover Solutions, and Spark Change," will be available for purchase and signing for $20. Please bring cash if you would like to purchase a book. 

Lunch will be served, and prospective new members are most welcome. Please let us know in advance of any food allergies or special accommodations.
