The inaugural Capitol Conversations luncheon was presented by American Electric Power, and raised funds for the Capitol Square Foundation.

Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin visited the Ohio Statehouse for the first in a series of Capitol Conversations. During the ticketed event, Goodwin discussed her book, “Leadership in Turbulent Times.” This seminal work provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders using the presidential histories of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson.
