Gen Next

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrated the best in civic character against unimaginable adversity. In doing so, he reminded us that our freedom is inextricably linked to the freedom of our fellow Americans, and we are bound by our shared humanity and unrelenting pursuit of creating a better world for future generations. His unerring belief in the good in mankind is a beacon of light for all of us to look to and his legacy lives on.

Indeed this year has illuminated an important lesson: it’s possible, and often necessary to hold grief and gratitude in the same hand. Powerful words from Michael P Davidson as he reflects on a year that has served up anything but what we expected. Read his personal and vulnerable account on how, against all odds, 2020 became a pretty formative year. https://www.linkedin.com//gifts-forged-fire-michael-p-da/

Thank you to General David Petraeus who joined Gen Next for a purposeful, aspirational briefing on our American values and our duty as leaders to defend our way of life. As a community, we left feeling inspired to recommit ourselves to setting an example for those around us on what it means to be a truly engaged citizen. His service to our nation is an inspiration!
