With Donald Trump as the Republican Party’s presumptive presidential nomination, what’s next for Washington Republicans? Plus, how can we use philanthropy to reduce inequality and create healthier communities?
Learn the answers to these questions and more at Civic Cocktail, 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 1 at Palace Ballroom, 2100 Fifth Ave.
Susan Hutchison, chair of the Washington State Republican Party, and former state Attorney General Rob McKenna, will join host Joni Balter to discuss the 2016 presidential election, the rise of Trump and the future of Washington’s Republican Party.
Then, Tony Mestres, president and CEO of Seattle Foundation, will discuss harnessing community giving, shrinking inequality and building a healthier community through philanthropy.
A panel of journalists, including Tom James of Crosscut, will also join the discussion.
