Lauren Cristella, President and CEO of Committee of Seventy

In this episode, host Jennifer Alleva speaks with Lauren Cristella, President and CEO of Committee of Seventy. Lauren is the first woman to hold this position in the nearly 120-year history of this non-profit and non-partisan organization, which combats corruption and promotes civic discourse. C70 has radically transformed itself from being an election watchdog to a bolder and more comprehensive vehicle for civic engagement.

In their conversation, we learn about Lauren’s leadership path, C70’s programs and why they are crucially important in this election year, and how citizens and employers can do their part to participate in our democracy.
