Concerned about the divisions in American government?
Watch on Wednesday, February 21st as The Economic Club of Washington, D.C. will feature Governor Wes Moore of Maryland and Governor Spencer J. Cox of Utah as they discuss the state of bipartisanship in the United States. Their conversation will be moderated by Judy Woodruff, Senior Correspondent and former Anchor and Managing Editor of the PBS NewsHour.
As the current chair of the National Governors Association, Governor Spencer Cox has launched a “Disagree Better” campaign with his colleagues. Democratic Governor Wes Moore has made it a commitment to work across the aisle to get bipartisan support on all Maryland’s key legislation in order to put the people of Maryland first.
This conversation will be shared nationally by PBS Books and the Bipartisan Leadership Project on all its platforms on Wednesday, February 21st at 12:30pm.

The BLP works to provide leaders with the skills necessary to lead in a polarized environment and has been involved in the creation of political leadership programs at Michigan State University and George Mason University.

The Bipartisan Leadership Project:
The mission of the Bipartisan Leadership Project (BLP) is to initiate and guide organizations in providing leadership development that equips leaders with skills necessary to lead in the polarized environment. Leaders of the BLP have initiated political leadership programs at Michigan State University’s Institute for Public Policy and Social Research and at George Mason University’s Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution. These programs bring together politically, ethnically, and geographically diverse people to learn together. The program uniquely focuses on the development of conflict resolution and leadership skills for this political environment. Participants build trust, tolerance, and the ability to listen to each other in finding workable solutions to the serious problems we face. With the involvement of scholars, leaders, practitioners, and the robust interaction of participants, these programs are producing amazing results. The BLP also helped develop a leadership program for high school students at John Lewis High School to increase the pipeline for the next generation of leaders.
The Economic Club of Washington, D.C.
The Economic Club of Washington, D.C. is widely recognized as the premier forum for distinguished global leaders to share their insights about major issues of the day with top-tier business leaders.
Disagree Better Initiative of the National Governors Association:
Disagree Better is an effort to show that as Americans, we can work through our differences to find solutions to the most difficult problems facing our states and our nation. This effort includes a series of public-facing efforts, assisted by NGA and chosen from a toolkit of interventions that are customizable for each state/governor.
