Civil Dialogues

About Civil Dialogues

Host Henry Dubroff and guests offer a solutions-driven approach to problem-solving and to fill some of the gaps in public discourse created by the demise of local newspapers and increasingly divisive politics. He will be having in-depth conversations with regional thought leaders, with area residents and we hope to bring some national figures on as guests.
