All About Assembly Speaker Series

The All About Assembly Speaker Series continues our tradition of hosting engaging and relevant gatherings. This year, our speaker programs will focus on our right to peaceably assemble. Our first evening will dive into how we gather as a community around sports. Sports broadcasting legend Joe DeCamara will moderate the discussion with sports legends Valerie Still, Milt Thompson, and more. Join us for an engaging and unique evening.
