“To truly heal our society, we must support those who work at the crossroads where left and right meet center, where the public and private sectors meet civil society, where tradition and disruption meet progress, and where idealism and realism meet aspiration.”
– Dan Porterfield (The Aspen Institute, President and CEO)
