WHO:

Tim Shriver is the chairman of Special Olympics, where he has served for 11 years and grown the organization by 1.5 million new athletes around the world.

E.J. Dionne is a columnist for the Washington Post, faculty member at Georgetown University and Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution.

WHAT:

The Georgetown Public Policy Institute and the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs will host an intimate discussion of the roots of faith in public service with Washington Post columnists Tim Shriver and E.J.
