Building off the success of our “Living Room Conversation” series and “Out of Many, One” report, Leading the Way: An American Approach to Immigration brought together moderate and conservative faith, law enforcement and business leaders in Washington, DC to discuss the future of immigration.
This annual invitation-only gathering comprised three distinct, yet complementary events: a morning convening of plenaries and presentations; an afternoon of meetings with congressional offices; and an evening reception featuring the Keepers of the American Dream awards.
