CPR in Action: Addressing the Root Causes of Dysfunctional American Politics

A CPRT Expert Dialogue with Sarah Bonk & Richard Eidlin of Business for America

In the current tumultuous U.S. political environment, business leaders are exploring ways to navigate heated debates and intensifying culture wars. When and how should they take action? How can they prepare internally? Are there ways business can help address the root causes of dysfunctional politics?

Please join our next Expert Dialogue as we explore the findings from Business for America’s (BFA) recent working group and survey. The discussion will highlight thoughts on “backlash” in the current U.S. political environment, including: 

• Insights into the current political climate, culture wars, and corporate speech.
• How companies should prepare internally to take effective action.
• How companies can take action through BFA initiatives and other methods to address the root causes of dysfunctional politics.
