Summer Engage Reader Now Available: Leadership Through Action
Engage
“Leadership is not complicated; it’s getting off the couch and doing something with someone for somebody.”
– Senator James Lankford
We are excited to share the release of our latest Engage Reader, our quarterly publication that elevates the quiet work of bipartisan governing. You can read the full issue here
As we navigate significant events at home and abroad, the leaders we spotlight this quarter have been focused on solving problems and building solutions. This summer’s issue showcases what’s possible when people choose constructive engagement, from bipartisan mental health legislation to innovative healthcare approaches.
These stories remind us that meaningful change happens when individuals see problems and decide to solve them, build coalitions across party lines, and focus on getting things done rather than getting attention.
Here’s a look at what you’ll find inside:
- Getting Off the Couch – Rachel’s founder’s note on Senator James Lankford’s compelling message about leadership and civic engagement, inspired by his new book Turnaround: America’s Revival
- Maternal Mental Health Wins – Navy veteran Adrienne Griffen and the bipartisan MOMS Act helping military families
- Revolutionary Youth Care – Meet Helen and Rebecca Egger, the mother-daughter team behind Little Otter’s whole-family approach, plus their groundbreaking pilot program with Oklahoma First Lady Sarah Stitt
- Show Your Badge – Senate Chief of Staff Reema Dodin on the institution she loves and her favorite films
- Small Business Leadership – Construction CEO Shirley Boubert-Rumble on betting on yourself, breaking barriers in male-dominated industries, and why better access to capital could transform American entrepreneurship
- Healthcare Worker Protection – The story behind the Dr. Lorna Breen Act preventing healthcare worker suicide and burnout
- Menopause in Washington – Why this workplace issue is finally getting the policy attention it deserves
- Honoring WWII Women and Raya Kenney’s decade-long journey to build a memorial on the National Mall
These are stories of people who saw problems and decided to solve them, proving that engagement, not outrage, is the path forward.
Enjoy!
