Murdock Charitable Trust delivered a visionary address on how philanthropy can contribute to strengthening our democracy. • Nicole Martin delivered a closing message on the importance of vision and steadfastness in the face of public discord. • And we announced dates for next year's For the Good of the Public Summit!
