Dear Board,
 I could not be more excited about the relentless and creative work that Truman is doing to enhance our national security and to fight for the causes we believe in.
 TruCon is a critical meeting that pulls together some of our best talent with some of our new talent to reinforce all of our leadership development. It’s an advocacy conference, teach-in, and revival meeting all wrapped up in one .  I’m committing $25,000 as a sponsor for TruCon and I would like to challenge all my fellow board members to help invest in this conference

Subject: **EXTERNAL EMAIL** TruCon17 Speaker Update

Members of the Boards,

As we all look forward to our upcoming Board meetings on June 22nd, I'm happy to share a few updates on our annual conference, June 23-25 in Washington DC. Friday's public keynotes will be given by Ambassador Wendy Sherman, who will speak to the future of the Iran Nuclear Agreement, and Congressman Adam Schiff, who continues to be at the center of investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Day by Day Highlights:

Friday will feature two keynotes: a morning address by Ambassador Wendy Sherman and afternoon remarks from Representative Adam Schiff. We will also take time to  highlighting five Truman member's stories of resistance as they elaborate on the ways in which their involvement with Truman drives their personal and professional goals in this current landscape.

Saturday will feature an internally focused keynote from Marlon Marshall (Founding Partner, 270 Strategies & former Director of States & Political Engagement, Hillary Clinton 2016 Presidential Campaign) as well as sessions focused on topics that thematically tie in to Truman's 2017 organizing goals. Sessions topics include: The Evolution of Russian Hybrid Warfare; Winning in Middle America - How Progressive Can Succeed in 2018 and Beyond; “Fake News” and the Age of Misinformation; Defending Democracy: Movement Building; and Organizing for Diverse Communities.

Sunday's member-generated content will expand on educational material from Saturday and will empower the membership to plan both a personal path to engagement and to strategize on their Chapter's path forward. Some Sessions center on knowledge transfer between the membership to allow for personal plan development while other sessions will use similar cross-session facilitation methods to guide action planning for Chapters for the reminder of 2017. Session titles include: Mobilizing for the Grasstops; Bringing Women, Peace, and Security to the Homefront; So You Think You Want to Run?; Defending Against Disinformation; Con Law 101: How Lawyers Can Help You Save America; Beyond the Photo-Op: Effectively Engaging with Faith-Based Communities; How to Protect Your Dissent; and Making Sense of Trump: An Indication and Warning System.
