The National Conference on Citizenship<\/a> is always an important gathering of Americans who strive to improve our nation’s civic life. This year, the Tisch College of Civic Life<\/a> at Tufts University is an equal partner in sponsoring and planning the conference. It will be highly interactive and will focus on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. I urge allies and colleagues to join us there. The official invitation follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n

Are you concerned about civic life in America?\u00a0 Are you frustrated by fractured communities, divisive politics, and processes that exclude many of our people?\u00a0 Do you feel we can do better?\u00a0 Do you have solutions you want to share with others?<\/span><\/p>\n

Then join fellow citizens, government leaders, and innovative entrepreneurs who are working to design and support engaged and resilient communities at the 2016 Annual Conference on Citizenship<\/span><\/a> in Washington, DC.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2016 conference is\u00a0Co-hosted by the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University\u00a0and will specifically focus on issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in civic life. Unless we make progress on these issues, we cannot move our country forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
