League of Women Voters Spring Luncheon Keynote on Citizen Engagement
Peter Levine, Director of CIRCLE, The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, will deliver the keynote address at the Vermont League of Women Voters' annual Spring Luncheon on March 21, 2015.
This event is open to the public and will be held at the Best Western Hotel on 45 Blush Hill Road in Waterbury from 11:30 a.m.to 1:00 p.m.
Peter Levine is one of the nation’s most influential civic engagement activists. His recent book We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For: The Promise of Civic Renewal in America provides a broad, clear definition of civic renewal, deliberation, and collaboration. It is a must-have primer for anyone interested in participatory democracy.
Civic renewal, for Dr. Levine, means addressing both sides of the equation: citizens' disengagement and institutional corruption. He firmly believes Americans are ready to take on a serious and energized role in fulfilling their civic responsibilities.
If you are interested in hearing Peter Levine, please call or email Sonja Schuyler at 802.899.3657 or sonjaschuyler@gmail.com. RSVP deadline is March 12, 2015.
Dr. Levine is also the Associate Dean for Research and Lincoln Filene Professor of Citizenship & Public Affairs at Tisch College.
