The Committee of Seventy’s 120th Anniversary: America at a Crossroads

Join the Committee of Seventy as we celebrate our 120th anniversary with our signature annual event this fall. This year’s program, titled America at a Crossroads, will feature an illuminating discussion between CNN’s Chris Wallace and 6ABC’s Tamala Edwards. 

During this insightful program, just two weeks after the pivotal November election, we will delve into the historical significance of this moment, analyze what transpired, and forecast what lies ahead for the nation. The discussion aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the election’s outcome by placing it within the broader narrative of American electoral history, with a particular focus on the election of 1960, which is the subject of Wallace’s new book, Countdown 1960. Each guest will receive a complimentary copy of the book.

Don’t miss this opportunity to be a part of this engaging conversation and celebrate 120 years of advocacy for good government and free, fair, safe and secure elections with leaders from the corporate, nonprofit, government, and civic sectors.
