His career has been spent at the intersection of public service, business and community impact and he is expertly skilled at navigating political and policy arenas.
This year, 26 new Directors were added to the Lyceum at its annual Investiture ceremony on the Senate Floor of the State Capitol Building as it embarks on its national “Campaign for Civility,” a call for elected officials to embrace civil discourse as they seek to find common ground.
“I am deeply honored to lead this incredible organization at such a transformative time and am inspired by the exceptional group of individuals we have just welcomed as new Directors, each of whom has pledged to approach the challenges facing our state and nation with dedication, thoughtfulness, and civility,” Webb said. “As we launch the national Campaign for Civility, I am both grateful and hopeful that their embodiment of the values and mission of the Lyceum will inspire elected officials and citizens alike to embrace civil discourse.”
