Thank You to Kristen Sorth and the St. Louis County Library for an incredibly INFORMATIVE & ENGAGING session on Civil Dialogues.
Facilitated by Co-founders Jean Becker, former Chief of Staff to President George H.W. Bush, and Linda Lorelle, former NBC-affiliate news anchor and Authors of "Finding Common Ground: Strategies for Civil Dialogue and Healing the Divide" they have built a set of programs that bring people together to create common foundations of insight, experience and healthy constructive dialogue. And the panel discussion brought additional thought and points of reference for deeper context -- truly inspired by our Next Gen Leaders!
The 2-hour event flew by as several hundred people from diverse backgrounds worked in table groupings to explore perspectives, lived experiences and shared values -- all with mutual respect.
Just what we need. Lessons to live by.
THANK YOU

I just wanted to take a minute to express my gratitude for the informative and enjoyable program at the Kansas City Central Library last night. You and Jean did an excellent job bringing out the salient points and keeping the program moving. It is such an important topic and you handled it with grace and professionalism. It was such a blessing. This is going to help me connect with a close friend on the other end of the political spectrum. Thank you. Again, we are grateful for the way you use your gifts to bring light to build and repair relationships in our corner of the world.

Your program last night was AMAZING. It is by far the most intelligent conversation I have heard regarding immigration. By far. My soul yearns for more programs like this.
