All of us are being asked right now: What will we do to maintain our democracy?

Today, I addressed 350+ business & community leaders at the @MetroHartford Annual Meeting as Chair of @HYPEHartford.

"Our greatest talent attraction + retention tool is opportunity - to grow professionally, make an impact on the community, and to develop meaningful connections."

[Jesse Imse @JesseImse]

The event included:
✅Discussions centered on the 2023 @Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends Report.
✅Exchanges between seasoned leaders + the Gen Z workforce.
✅Discussions on the complexities of attracting + retaining young talent.
✅Remarks from Hartford Mayor @MayorBronin.

Yesterday, I addressed the NextGen Summit as Chair of @HYPEHartford.

"We find the greatest attraction + retention tool for young talent is opportunity. Opportunity to grow professionally, develop meaningful connections, & the opportunity to make an impact on their communities."

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

We should be concerned that the Saudis, who have a clear interest in repressing political speech and impacting U.S. politics, are now the second-largest owner of a major social media platform.

There is a clear national security issue at stake and CFIUS should do a review.

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

Young professionals have good reasons to move to Connecticut — high paying job opportunities, great quality of life, and affordability compared to New York and Boston with ease in getting to and from the cities. I think these folks are here and sticking around for good.

[Bureau of Information Technology Solutions (BITS) @ct_bits]

As we embark towards an all-digital government, digitizing state gov docs is two-fold (pun intended):

1. Digitize + organize existing docs to enhance accessibility of information.
2. Modernize processes + services to become less reliant on paper.

Theodore Roosevelt was first American President to ride publicly in a car, 120 years ago today, Hartford, Connecticut.
And the car (Columbia Victoria Phaeton) was electric.
