117th Anniversary Event

Principles, Parties, and Where We Go From Here

The Committee of Seventy’s annual event has become a can’t miss event each fall. It draws leaders from corporate, nonprofit, government and civic sectors of the economy. This year Seventy will present a hybrid in-person, exclusive cocktail program and live-streamed event, bringing together the fascinating program and networking you expect, in the format you prefer.

The Program: Kristen Soltis Anderson and Rep. Jim Clyburn in conversation with Michael Smerconish

With important elections on the horizon for bellwether Pennsylvania, two of America’s political powerhouses come together to discuss the realignment of the American electorate, the current state of American politics and political parties, and how these trends could play out in Pennsylvania in 2022.

If you are interested in becoming a sponsor for Principles, Parties, and Where America Goes from Here, and making a greater impact on our work, please email Lauren Cristella.
