U.S. Chamber Foundation's

CIVICS FORWARD Summit

Friday, September 27th | 8:00AM - 1:00PM | Washington, D.C.

The U.S. Chamber Foundation's CIVICS FORWARD summit is a future-looking platform to explore civics education, civic engagement, and civil discourse in America.

According to a 2018 survey, just 40 percent of Americans were able to pass a multiple-choice exam of civics questions taken from the immigration test, and less than a third of adults were unable to name even one of the three branches of government.

Join U.S Chamber of Commerce as they bring together leaders in business, education, and government to discuss this important topic and how we can solve this challenge for the next generation. The U.S. Chamber Foundation will donate the proceeds from the registration fees for CIVICS FORWARD to non-profits working on civics education programming around the country.
