At this critical time in our nation’s history, we are alarmed at the damage that has been done to several of our governmental institutions including the DOJ, State, Interior, EPA, Education, Homeland Security, Labor and others. Even the United States Postal Service has been sabotaged. In most cases, directors who have been chosen for these agencies work against the founding purpose of the agencies they are running. Many career professionals have resigned or been terminated from all of these departments. Others have held on for this moment.
By Feb 4th, the date of our meeting, the Biden administration will be two weeks in place. We are hopeful that new cabinet officials will be in full charge, assisted by a slim democratic majority in the Senate. Please join us to hear our panel of experts, including a current and former US House member, as we discuss these critical issues.
