About the speaker:
Mark Gerzon is an author, leadership consultant, and veteran convener of cross-party conversations. In the twenty years since he co-designed and facilitated the first US House of Representatives Bipartisan Congressional Retreat, he has been on the frontier of Democratic-Republican dialogues. His book Leading Through Conflict: How Successful Leaders Transform Differences Into Opportunities (published in 2006 by Harvard Business School Press) shares some of his key “transpartisan” learnings.
Having worked in both the private and public sectors, as well domestically and internationally (with the United Nations Development Program), Gerzon is now focusing entirely on having a positive impact on the 2016 election. The Bridge Alliance is the primary vehicle for achieving that goal. His new book The Reunited States of America: How We Can Bridge the Partisan Divide, which was released in early 2016, shares the basic principles and profiles the leading figures in this movement.
