Restoring Civic Engagement and Volunteerism with Eric J. Tanenblatt

What has led to the erosion of civic engagement and volunteerism over the course of the past generation? This week Eric J.

W. Bush administration and serving as chief of staff to former Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue). Tanenblatt also emphasizes the importance of civic engagement and volunteerism and gives his thoughts on effective leadership.Eric is the global chair of public policy and regulation at Dentons Law Firm. For over three decades, he has worked at the highest levels of federal and state government, including serving in three presidential administrations.
