Join us on Wednesday, September 15, for a conversation with Emily Evans, Founder and CEO, Economist Education Foundation. Evans will share her insights on the link between 21st Century workforce skills and the skills imparted through quality civics education.  

U.S. Chamber President and CEO Suzanne Clark will be joined by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to explore the state of the pandemic, the surge happening now because of the Delta variant, and how to get more Americans vaccinated.

Even before the COVID-19 public health crisis, finding quality, affordable childcare was a barrier to the workforce for many working parents. The pandemic exacerbated numerous issues in an already fragile childcare system and a lack of childcare options presents a significant roadblock for parents to re-enter the workforce. There is no silver bullet to solve this problem but the need to create a childcare system to fully support working parents and the businesses in which they work has never been clearer. Join us for the next event in the Talent Forward virtual series as we address how state and federal governments, the business community, and childcare providers can collaborate to provide effective solutions.

On Thursday, July 22, Hanna Skandera and David Davenport will share their insights on the driving forces behind the state of civics education in America and implications for the future of our democracy.
