Former President Barack Obama is coming to Connecticut. He will join The Connecticut Forum in June.
It is in partnership with the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving. Former President Obama will talk about his presidency, his current work with the Obama Foundation and the challenges we face today.
“For more than three decades, The Forum has served a critical role in Connecticut – bringing people together to consider the great challenges and opportunities of our time through thoughtful discussions. In so doing, we hope to bridge the divides that exist between individuals and communities. We cannot think of a better bridgebuilder and leading global statesman to join The Forum stage than President Obama,” Mana Zarinejad, executive director of The Connecticut Forum, said in a news release.
