Society: Events: Public Leadership: The Difference CEOs Can Make

Public Leadership: The Difference CEOs Can Make

May 23, 2007

Location: New York, NY

CEOS need to feel that they can make a difference and have an impact on political outcomes. The current paralysis in government and intense bipartisanship deter business leaders from becoming involved.
