As many of you will remember, the Caux Round Table, with its principles for moral capitalism and moral government, has collaborated on programs honoring the legacy of John Brandl, former dean of the Humphrey School and state legislator. One of our partners has been the Citizens League.
This year, the League has organized the program, “From Conflict to Convergence: Coming Together to Solve Tough Problems,” to encourage all of us to dedicate ourselves to John’s “uncommon search for common ground.” Such an orientation towards politics, culture, governance and others is timely and would be most beneficial for our state and country.
