About this event

Political polarization in the U.S. is at a record high. As news, social media, and biases drive the wedge ever deeper, families, communities, and democracy suffer the fallout of societal divisions. How can communication leaders combat polarizing forces, manage interpersonal conflict, and cultivate a public voice in this fraught context? Dr. Tania Israel can offer solutions. Grounded in evidence, experience, and skills, she will share perspectives and strategies that will leave you informed, optimistic, and empowered to take action. Plus, founder Lois Phillips will present her annual AWC-SB Founder's Award.
