The first presentation of the 76th annual Amos Fortune Forum 2023 speaker series will be Friday, July 7, at 8 p.m. in the Meetinghouse in Jaffrey Center.
Speaker Andrew Card will present “Democracy Now,” focusing on how “We the People” matter in government. It addresses what the state of politics was like when towns like Jaffrey were established, when democracy matured and what it is today. Card was the White House chief of staff to President George W. Bush and has the second-longest tenure as chief of staff. He has served as chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington, D.C., as interim chief executive officer of the George and Barbara Bush Foundation and president of Franklin Pierce University.
The presentation is free, and this summer, the forum is providing space and seating on the Meetinghouse Common for attendees who would like to arrive early and bring a picnic. This space will be set-up on Friday evening by 6:30 pm.
All presentations are streamed live on facebook.com/amosfortuneforum, and more program information is available at amosfortune.com.
