Monday, April 23, 2018 – Next Generation of Civic Leaders
Presented by Columbus Inspires and the Create Columbus Commission

To say that the political environment today is in flux would be an understatement. Current events as well as the coming of age of our millennial generation is changing what our society wants from our political leaders. The changes in our communities also begs the question, “Who are the people that will lead our government into the future?” Career politicians, pay-to-play policy creation and systemic inaction have made our political system tentative at best, perhaps even revolutionary. What character qualities will be important to us in our future leaders? What types of backgrounds should our future leaders possess to be relevant and electable? What are the key political and societal platforms that people will rally around as our communities continue to evolve.

Join local civic leaders and political strategists to understand what our evolving communities need in terms of leadership, inspiration, policy and experience.
