    Citizens League Oral History Project

    This past week has been the start of an ongoing process of collecting an oral history for the Citizens League. Initiated as part of the celebration of the League's upcoming 60th anniversary, I have been conducting video interviews to capture perspectives on our organization dating as far back as possible.

    It is my hope that these interviews can serve an important function of learning from inter-generational experiences, whether to improve our work or to simply connect and develop our shared goals and attitudes.

    Do you have any suggestions of who we should interview? Would you like to share your experience with the Citizens League and contribute to our oral history records? Contact Adam at aarling[at]citizensleague.org for further details.
