The Founding Fathers and Public Leadership Conference

About

The Tommy G. Thompson Center held a conference on the UW-Madison campus examining the beliefs and insight of the founding fathers as they pertain to public leadership in America. The Thompson Center brought together a large number of panelists with expertise to examine the mindsets of Franklin, Madison, Adams, Marshall, Dickinson, Douglass, and many other framers of America’s beginnings. Former Ambassador Rick Graber interviewed Former Second Lady of the United States Lynne Cheney during the luncheon.
