HCPL was pleased to be a prominent sponsor of the inaugural “summit” of the Connecticut Civic Ambassadors. Overseen by the Hartford-based organization, Everyday Democracy, and supported by state governmental officials, the Civic Ambassadors program brings together citizens committed to strengthening our communities, institutions and overall civic health. Dana Miranda (who led HCPL’s partnership) and Brendan Kane were inducted into the first cohort of CT Civic Ambassadors; the following members of the Initiative on Campus Dialogues also assumed leadership roles at the event: Arianna Diaz, Richard Frieder, Mark Overmyer-Velazquez and Taylor Thompson.
