What is the importance
of civic engagement to
Minnesota amidst the
current profound changes in
how we define “civic
engagement”? What impact
will this have on democracy,
on aging, and on public policy
in general? As Minnesota
turns 150 this year, let’s
consider an innovative and
effective “civic policy agenda,”
and how the Vital Aging
Network and the Citizens
League can work together
Sean Kershaw describes his life
work as building the institutions
necessary to “make policy public.”
Sean is passionate about active
citizenship, civic organization, and
good public policy. As co-chair of the
Citizens League’s 50th Anniversary
report, Sean helped to produce
Doing the Common Good Better. He
is president of the Citizens League
and a founding member of the Active
Citizens School for Young Adults,
a young-adult civic leadership
program. Sean is currently working
on non-profit civic leadership efforts
through the Minnesota Active
Citizenship Initiative.
