In this dynamic brown bag session, former members of Congress Barbara Comstock and L.F. Payne explore innovative approaches to fostering dialogue and compromise across the aisle with Miller Center Director and CEO William Antholis. They will discuss how to cultivate a democratic culture that prioritizes collaboration and consensus-building, even in the face of disagreement. From leveraging shared values to finding common ground, they will uncover practical strategies for increasing bipartisanship and breaking through political gridlock.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into the importance of working with neighbors, both within and across party lines, to achieve meaningful change. Through engaging discussion, participants will learn how to cultivate a culture of respect and understanding, laying the groundwork for productive dialogue and effective policymaking. Join us and be part of the movement to revitalize democratic principles and promote bipartisan solutions in Congress.
This event is part of Tom Tom Festival 2024 and will be held in person at the CODE Building in downtown Charlottesville, Virginia.
