"Democracy's Forgotten Virtue": A Talk with Dr. Kenneth Ruscio
An expert on democratic theory and public policy, Kenneth P. Ruscio will speak on humility as a leadership virtue, one especially appropriate for leaders in a democracy. Pulling from his own experiences in leadership positions as well as from the Founders, Washington and Jefferson in particular, Ruscio will address the question: Why humility? and Why Now? in this time when humility is increasingly out of fashion.
Includes a pre-talk reception with beer, wine, and light hors d’oeuvres and a chance to meet the speaker. Reception is held in the Parish Hall or outside in good weather.
Reception begins at 5:30 PM.
Doors open at 6:30 PM for seating | Talk starts promptly at 7:00 PM
