“It’s time for the next generation to step up and take the reins and there’s really nothing quite like CIVIC to prepare them for that opportunity. With world class speakers, candid conversation about the issues and class members who command the assets and resources to bring to bear on the challenges that face us, CIVIC is making a tremendous difference in the future of the region.”

- Joshua Darden
