espoused by U. S. Congressman Louis Stokes. The symposium provides a platform
for an individual who exemplifies these qualities to lead a thought-provoking
discussion among members of the Greater Cleveland community, the Case Western

of public leadership at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

The symposium is free and open to the public, but registration is required at
