Drawing on decades of experience at the highest levels of government and the nonprofit sector, Bridgeland will explore how public service—across lines of difference—can help make America “more perfect.” From expanding national service after 9/11 to strengthening democracy, improving education outcomes, and mobilizing citizens to meet shared challenges, his work demonstrates the enduring power of service to unite communities and advance the common good.
A former Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council and founder of multiple initiatives focused on democracy, service, and social impact, Bridgeland brings a unique cross-partisan perspective rooted in character, action, and hope.
This timely conversation reflects the values that defined President Gerald R. Ford’s life and leadership: integrity, humility, and a deep commitment to serving others. Attendees will leave with renewed insight into how individual and collective service can strengthen our democracy and shape a better future.
