STEVE GROVE, CEO and Publisher, Minnesota Star Tribune
We live in a time of dynamic change, when our most important institutions face unprecedented challenges. Public trust in the media, government, technology, and almost every other body in our civic lives is declining rapidly. Reinventing our institutions for a modern era is an essential task, but faces severe challenges at the national level, where our civic discourse is so polarized. Steve Grove — who’s been an executive in tech, government, and media — will share his insights on why starting local is the best opportunity we have to reclaim the promise of America and rebuild trust in our future. Steve’s recently- published book, How I Found Myself in the Midwest, will be available for purchase at the Forum.
