John Kasich | 69th Governor of Ohio (two terms) | Author, Political Analyst & Commentator
Jay Karen | CEO | NGCOA

After a storied career in both the public and private sectors, including a high-profile run for President in 2016, Gov. John Kasich has a panoramic view of both corporate and civic leadership — and unparalleled experience in America’s public policy, fiscal policy, and foreign policy. We’re honored to welcome Gov. Kasich as he sits down with NGCOA CEO Jay Karen to talk about the upcoming election and the crucial legislative items which hang in the balance. A paragon of compassionate leadership and arguably one of the most respected voices in American politics, Gov. Kasich believes in the power that individuals can have when they work to build unity through shared ideals of responsibility, innovation, and joy in confronting life’s challenges. After the interview, Gov. Kasich will take questions from the audience. This final session promises to be both purposeful and powerful.
