The Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership
13th Annual Legislative Reception

Time afterward was spent with a discussion between RADM Kirby and guests on issues related to the U.S.
In today's bitter partisan environment, the Sorensen Institute's vision is more important than ever: trust, civility and respect in politics. Join us on Oct. 12 for an evening of drinks, discussion and networking with area political junkies to support the Sorensen Institute.
