Leading a Meaningful Life: Marshall Ganz

Wednesday, May 4, 2022, at Memorial Church, 12:00 - 1:00 pm

Join us in historical Memorial Church as Marshall Ganz shares insight into his personal values, beliefs, and motivations in order to gain a deeper understanding of life’s meaning. Q&A with the audience will follow.

Educator, organizer, and author Marshall Ganz is the Rita E. Hauser Senior Lecturer in Leadership, Organizing and Civil Society at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He teaches, researches, and writes on leadership, narrative, strategy, and organization in social movements, civic associations, and politics. As a young man, he spent 16 years with the United Farm Workers, gaining experience in union, political, and community organizing and serving on the national executive board. Later he worked with grassroots groups to develop new organizing programs and designed innovative voter mobilization strategies for local, state, and national electoral campaigns. He was instrumental in the design of the grassroots organization for the 2008 Obama for President campaign.

Livestream will be available on the ORSL Youtube Channel.
