September 22, 2011
This panel was convened at the 66th Annual National Conference on Citizenship on September 22, 2011 in Phoenix, Arizona by NCoC and the Bipartisan Policy Center.
This discussion brought together federal, state and local level politicians, members of the media, civic leaders and business/social innovators for a frank discussion about the rise of political incivility, the qualities of successful civic leadership, historical bipartisan accomplishments, and the solutions needed to improve a political environment widely seen as beset by gridlock.
Featured speakers were Former Senator Robert Bennett (R-UT); Aaron Brown, PBS (formerly CNN and ABC); Sally Rider, National Institute for Civic Discourse; Ted Simons, KAET-TV’s HORIZON; and Senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ 15).
