Cultivating a family-centered culture post-COVID

Video Conference

This seminar is for full-time Hill staffers only.

When Amy Coney Barrett, a mother of 8, was appointed to the nation's highest court she inspired the public with a new model of faith, family life, and professional excellence. Chances are, many households would love to integrate their family life and public vocations in such a way.

How might we build a family-centered culture in which more families could achieve this aspiration? We'll consider the prospects for cultivating a family-centered culture and grapple with some of the truths about family that might inform family-centered culture and policy.
