BUILDING BRIDGES THROUGH BIPARTISANSHIP
A Conversation with David Baime
Tuesday, January 26, 2021 | 5-6:30 p.m. | Virtual
Join us for a conversation with David Baime, Senior Vice President for Government Relations and Policy Analysis for the American Association of
Community Colleges. The year 2020 highlighted just how divided we are as a country, and how many social issues have been politicized in the process. In this session we will discuss a brief history of partisanship and how we have gotten to where we are today. We will focus on strategies for bridging the partisan divide, from small-scale ideas that everyone can engage in, to larger structures that we can all aspire to support. There will be plenty of time for a Q&A to answer audience questions!
