The Sedona OLLI will be hosting an extraordinary visitor this Wednesday whose work is aligned with League of Women Voter goals.
The guest will be Keith Allred, the new executive director of the National Institute for Civil Discourse, established in Tucson after the tragic shooting that killed six people and wounded former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. He is known for creating CommonSenseAmerican.org a very successful initiative that brought Republicans, Democrats, and Independents in Idaho together to find and champion solutions with broad support–and is now being rolled out across the country.
Keith earned a BA in American History from Stanford and a PhD in Organizational Behavior from UCLA. He served as the first professor of negotiation and conflict resolution hired by Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, after being on the Columbia University faculty.
He is among the most articulate, effective, and dynamic leaders in the movement towards transpartisan dialogue, deliberation, and political action in America.
Remarkably, he is coming to the Sedona OLLI next Wednesday (April 24) at 1:00 to give a Lunch & Learn talk in room 34 on his work
He also will offer from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. that day a two-hour workshop on promoting civil discourse in everyday life and in local, state and national organizations. Both are free and open to all.
This is a unique opportunity to meet, hear from, and work with an extraordinary individual and to catch up with what’s going on in this vital movement. For more information, contact League member Paul Friedman at 928-282-1541.
