Lunch Discussion & Town Hall
On February 13, Leadership Now Arizona co-hosted a public town hall, bringing together nearly 100 voters and community leaders. The event featured a fireside chat with John Fees, Founding Member of Leadership Now Arizona, and Elizabeth Neumann, former Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism, discussing rising political extremism, civic engagement, and solutions to rebuild trust in democracy.
“We must set a new standard—violence and intimidation in politics cannot be normalized. It’s up to civil society, businesses, and leaders to reset what is acceptable behavior.” — Elizabeth Neumann
“Now is not the time for indifference. Business leaders must step up and tell a different story.” — John Fees
