Description
“When will our lives get back to normal?” By looking to
leaders across society, the United States must use a holistic approach
to establishing our new normal. The Hauenstein Center, in partnership
with the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation and the Gerald R. Ford
Presidential Library and Museum, is pleased to present a panel of West
Michigan leaders to discuss America’s “new normal.” Panelists will
share their perspectives on COVID-19, the 2020 election, and other
seismic shifts in our economy and society in recent years. The panel
will feature Tina Freese Decker, President and CEO of Spectrum Health;
Paul Isely, professor of economics at Grand Valley; Winnie Brinks,
State Senator of Michigan’s 29th District; and Jeffrey Polet,
professor of political philosophy at Hope College. Gleaves Whitney,
executive director of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation will
moderate this panel. Panelist
biographies are available here.
We are as eager as all of you are to resume the Hauenstein
Center’s thought-provoking in person events. Though in these
tumultuous times, in order to comply with the Governor’s executive
orders, the CDC recommended guidelines, and Grand Valley’s current
policies, our fall lineup will be offered digitally. The very first
opportunity we have to go back to in person events, we will do so, so
stay tuned!
This event also appears on the main events calendar tagged as election2020, and hauenstein.
