What immediate steps need to be taken to shore up the morale of federal workers? And how do we attract the next generation of civil servants? Featuring: Rep. Derek Kilmer (D-WA), Co-Sponsor, Federal Worker Leave Fairness Act; Chair, Select Committee on the Modernization of Congress Katherine Archuleta, Former Director, Office of Personnel Management Andrew H. Card, Jr., Former White House Chief of Staff, President George W. Bush Everett Kelley, National President, American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Clay Johnson, Former Executive Director, Bush-Cheney Transition; former Deputy Director for Management, Office of Management and Budget Dr. Arun Majumdar, Former Founding Director, Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy; former Acting Under Secretary of Energy Dr. Kathryn Newcomer, Professor, The Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration, GWU; Fellow, National Academy of Public Administration Max Stier, President and CEO, Partnership for Public Service RSVP for event reminders | | | |  | | | | Tuesday, January 26 (1:00 PM ET) |  Modern Credit Systems, Alternative Data & The American Dream, sponsored by FICO Consider the conventional portfolio of the American Dream: owning a home, buying a car, perhaps starting a small business—each typically requires a substantial amount of credit to turn the dream into a reality. For many Americans who lack access to traditional credit, these quintessential markers of stability and success may remain out of reach. Economists and some members of Congress have suggested incorporating alternative data like cell phone, utility and rent payments in credit scores. These data lines, currently excluded from traditional credit scores, could provide information on financial responsibility that would expand credit access. What guardrails can policymakers implement to ensure responsible use and adherence to applicable consumer protection laws? Can alternative data be used to increase access to credit for underserved families? What needs to be done for lenders to become comfortable using alternative data in credit underwriting? Featuring: Suze Orman, Personal Finance Expert John Hope Bryant, Founder, Chairman and CEO, Operation HOPE, Inc. Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH), Member, Financial Services Committee; Chair, Subcommittee on Diversity and Inclusion Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC), Ranking Member, Financial Services Committee Michael Neal, Senior Research Associate, Urban Institute Jeff Tucker, Senior Economist, Zillow Chi Chi Wu, Staff Attorney, National Consumer Law Center RSVP for event reminders | | | |  | | | | Tuesday, January 26 (3:30 PM ET) |  Listening to America, underwritten by The Bob Woodruff Foundation The Biden-Harris administration is inheriting a deeply divided country at a time when we are also facing unprecedented challenges from a stubborn virus that has sickened or killed many Americans and hobbled the economy. The challenges are clear and daunting. However, the old adage that "all politics is local" still applies. The perspectives of constituents back home and local governments and jurisdictions have never been more important. What are the concerns of citizens in communities small and large, rural and urban? What could a realigning of priorities signify for local government officials? And even though there are more diverse voices in national offices than ever before, will traditionally underserved groups be heard? Featuring: Gov. Jared Polis, Governor of Colorado Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, Governor of New Mexico Mayor LaToya Cantrell, Mayor, New Orleans, LA Mayor Javier E. Sánchez, Mayor, Española, NM Dr. Peniel E.

Many business owners have learned to innovate, embracing new technologies and new business models in order to stay afloat, showing their resilience and begging the question - what will "normal" even look like for business owners? How do we move from COVID relief to a full recovery? What support do small business owners still urgently need? How have microbusinesses, minority-owned businesses, and those who could not access PPP funds fared during these difficult days and how can we ensure their prosperity? Featuring: Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), Ranking Member, Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO), Member, House Financial Services Committee; Ranking Member, Subcommittee on Consumer Protection and Financial Institutions Ron Busby, President and CEO, U.S. Black Chambers Inc.

That we find ourselves here in less than a year is perhaps nothing short of a medical miracle. But the hard work is just beginning. How do you manufacture and distribute a vaccine to nearly 7.8 billion people? The Hill will convene an online summit on the vaccine discovery, production, and distribution challenge. Join for one session or both: The Manufacturing (1:15 PM ET/10:15 AM PT) There are 7.8 billion people in the world, and leading experts say that the target number for vaccination must reach 70% of those, or roughly 5.5 billion people. The scale is staggering. Are we prepared? Featuring: Dr. Anthony Fauci, Chief Medical Adviser on COVID-19 to the President & Director, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Dr. Francis S. Collins, Director, National Institutes of Health Dr. Mikael Dolsten, Chief Scientific Officer & President, Worldwide Research, Development and Medical, Pfizer Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), Chair, Committee on Science, Space and Technology Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, Chief Scientist, World Health Organization Dr. Leana Wen, Emergency Physician & Visiting Professor, George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health The Distribution (2:30 PM ET/11:30 AM PT) Global supply chains and efficient distribution networks will determine how effectively a vaccine is able to offer protection. It will also need an unprecedented level of collaboration between the public and private sectors and between the federal and state governments. And then there is also the matter of trust. Featuring: Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), Member, Ways & Means Committee; GOP Doctors Caucus Dr. Susan Bailey, President, American Medical Association Dr. John P. Banovetz, Chief Technology Officer, 3M Mayor Sharon Weston Broome, Mayor, Baton Rouge, LA Dr. John Brownstein, Chief Innovation Officer, Boston Children's Hospital; Harvard University professor Dr. Sree Chaguturu, Chief Medical Officer, CVS Daniel E.

Strategic leaps in global connectivity, as well as the fast processing of data and creation of solutions in energy, project design, transportation and more, will be the key pieces in protecting our earth. From investing in smarter, green tech practices to ensuring corporate responsibility through policy, the hunt for new ways to reduce humanity's carbon footprint is crucial in its advancement. At the inflection point of the new administration taking charge, how can we leverage this moment of opportunity? And how can policymaking keep pace to ensure technology is leading the way in the conservation of our Earth? Featuring: Rep. John Curtis (R-UT), Member, Committee on Natural Resources Rep.
