Dear Friends, Welcome to the third lecture as part of the 2020-2021 New Albany Lecture Series Season. Tonight’s program is presented through the New Albany Center for Civil Discourse and Debate and features two well-known American political figures in David Alexrod and Chris Christie. I’d like to acknowledge the Derrow family, whose vision and original investment helped launch the center. We’re also grateful to the other sponsors of tonight’s program, who are listed in the program. In addition to presenting programs as part of the lecture series, the New Albany Center for Civil Discourse and Debate worked with New Albany Schools to establish debate teams in the high school and middle school. And earlier today, thousands of high school students from across the region had the unique opportunity to interact with Axelrod and Christie. As you know, the political discourse in our country has become increasingly vitriolic and divisive. At the same time, many believe that debating has become somewhat of a lost art. The Foundation and Derrow family endeavored to help rebuild the passion and skills to discuss and debate the issues of the day in a thoughtful way without attacking those with whom we disagree. And in doing so, we want to present different perspectives and views to the community and allow everyone to arrive at their own conclusions. I want to thank Colleen Marshall for moderating tonight’s discussion. Colleen is an Emmy Award–winning journalist with NBC4. She anchors the 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. news and is the host of the weekly political program, “NBC4’s The Spectrum.” Earlier this Fall, NBC4 served as the Foundation’s media sponsor for our “Conversations on Social Justice” and we’re appreciative to General Manager Ken Freedman and his entire team, as a valued partner. I hope you enjoy tonight’s program. Thank you for participating! Sincerely, Craig Mohre, President The New Albany Community Foundation

A word from one of our Season Sponsors Conway Charitable Lead Annuity Trust Steve Conway and Beatrice Wolper The Conway Charitable Lead Annuity Trust is proud to support The New Albany Lecture Series as a season sponsor for the fifth consecutive year. The Conway family and the Conway Center for Family Business they helped establish is dedicated to the success of family owned businesses, which includes providing enriching educational opportunities. The mission of the lecture series is to promote lifelong learning and to provide a platform for civil discourse and community dialogue on timely issues. As such, the trust and lecture series are aligned in promoting learning opportunities made available to everyone in the community, including area students. This past year the series reached a milestone, with more than 15,000 students representing central Ohio schools participating in The New Albany Lecture Series student lecture program. “We absolutely love this impactful program,” said Steve Conway. “The caliber of speakers, the virtual format that makes the lectures accessible, and the opportunity for central Ohioans to interact with the influential thought leaders all make this one of the best lecture series in America.” Conway noted that they appreciate that the lecture series provides access to currently serving military and military veterans, senior citizens and disadvantaged youth. And the virtual programs this season allow even more people to participate. He added that the series addresses issues of importance to the central Ohio community, such as the mental health and well-being of students, civil discourse and national security. “Now more than ever, we need access to sound information and we need to hear different perspectives so everyone can arrive at their own conclusions,” said Bea Wolper, Trustee for the Conway Charitable Lead Annuity Trust.” “The Conways live in New Albany, so they appreciate the quality of the lectures, schools and overall community,” said Wolper. “We look forward to another season of outstanding lectures!” Steve Conway & Beatrice Wolper, Trustee Conway Charitable Lead Annuity Trust

Brian Mooney
At Turner our core purpose is to make a difference in the lives of our
people, customers and community. That is why Turner has been a proud
sponsor of The New Albany Community Foundation and its programs that
promote lifelong learning, health and wellness and
more through the years.
Rooted in the belief that community service is an
essential part of good corporate citizenship – Turner’s
commitment to educational outreach aligns with The
New Albany Lecture Series community dialogue for
civil discourse and relatable issues.
As an advocate of community outreach, Turner
actively participates in, and sponsors, a wide variety
of programs that support youth education, health and
welfare, military service members and improving the
viability of local businesses. We’re particularly grateful
that the lectures are made available to senior citizens,
veterans, currently serving military and disadvantaged youth.
Over the past months, our country has experienced growing division and
political fracture characterized by rancor and vitriol. Given this current
environment, opportunities for civil discourse and debate within the
community is critical as we strive to be informed citizens. Our company
too, has provided our employees with programs that educate and provide
opportunities to discuss similar issues. We applaud the Foundation and the
New Albany Center for Civil Discourse and Debate – a national model for
civil conversation.
Turner is particularly proud to support the Foundation’s student lecture

bring to mind another famous quote:
“May you live in interesting times...”
A global pandemic has challenged the free world with threats to life
and health and restrictions of individual liberty unprecedented during
peacetime, and our leaders have struggled to justify the continuation of
those restrictions as necessary for the common good.
During the summer, and in the midst of the pandemic, we saw hundreds of
protests in support of important social justice causes, particularly the Black
Lives Matter movement, with some turning violent.
An unconventional President lost his reelection bid, and then failed
to actively promote the single most important test of our republic —
acceptance of electoral defeat and the peaceful transition of power —
ultimately leading to a violent uprising at the United States Capitol building.DON’T RAISE

McCoy Community Service Award in honor of two beloved civic leaders whose exceptional generosity had a significant and lasting impact on central Ohio. Reflecting the McCoys’ belief in actively supporting organizations that strengthen the community and increase opportunity for all, recipients of the prestigious Jeanne & John G. McCoy Community Service Award are selected annually and recognized at the Foundation’s Remarkable Evening benefit.

In 2020, two fundamental
priorities emerged.
Our health.
And our humanity.
While we entered the year with a carefully constructed plan, a global pandemic and a movement
to advance social justice put those plans on hold. So we shifted our focus and asked you to join us.
And you responded with an outpouring of support. Because of your generosity, we made grants
totaling nearly $200,000 toward the safe reopening of our schools, to the New Albany Food Pantry
and in support of local mental health initiatives. We also introduced our Conversations on Social
Justice with a virtual event featuring Eddie S. Glaude Jr., who chairs the Department of African
American Studies at Princeton University. We all came away from the conversation with a greater
understanding of how to care for each other. Looking back, that’s what this year was all about.
When you donate through the Foundation, gifts of any size, large and small, generate
impact in so many ways. Grants have been made in support of worthy efforts that
touch lives throughout our community. Including the Charleen & Charles Hinson
Amphitheater, which will provide a gathering place for community events, enabling us
to build and strengthen community bonds. The Foundation has been at the center of
efforts like this that bring us together. And it’s all made possible by your support.
If you’ve given, we thank you. And if you are yet to make a gift, we invite you to join us.
