| CED President Charlie Kolb |
Partnering with the California Clean Money Campaign (CCMC), CED sponsored a luncheon discussion on money and politics in Beverly Hills, CA. Over 35 business and community leaders joined for the discussion which featured remarks from Charles E.M. Kolb, President, CED; Thomas E. Mann, W. Averell Harriman Chair and Senior Fellow, The Brookings Institution; Robert M. Stern, President, Center for Governmental Studies (CGS); Susan Lerner, Executive Director, CCMC; and Richard Jacobs, Chair, Brave New Films.
CED Trustees Harold M. Williams, President Emeritus, J. Paul Getty Trust and John C. Siciliano, President and CEO, BKF Capital Group, Inc., hosted the luncheon which was held at the Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel.
The forum, held on the same day as the California Primary Elections, touched upon CED's national campaign finance reform effort, "527" reform, and highlighted the current state of affairs in California. The discussion was the third in a series of forums CED hosted with generous support from The Pew Charitable Trusts. |
