Good Manners and Good Policy: How civility can help renew Michigan’s political culture

Politics isn’t all rainbows and butterflies and voters don’t expect their elected officials to say everything with flowers. But is it too much to ask the political class to share their views and make their points with civility and a focus on persuasion? Alexandra Hudson will lead a (polite) discussion about the need for thoughtful discourse in public policy. Hudson, founder of Civic Renaissance and author of the new book “The Soul of Civility,” is a widely recognized authority on the uses and abuses of correct deportment, with a clear focus on how to build civil and constructive public dialogue.

Join us for a thoughtful discussion and unique opportunity to network with freedom-minded folks.
