Jennifer Pahlka served as President Barack Obama’s former deputy chief technology officer. Join us for an in-depth talk as she offers a bold reexamination of how our government operates and the improvements that she says need to be made to end bureaucratic dysfunction.

It’s not more money or more tech we need; Pahlka calls for "recoding" American government to reclaim it for the people it is supposed to serve.

The USC Dornsife Center for the Political Future presents this event in partnership with the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco. And it is supported by the Ken & Jacklyn Broad Family Fund. All in-person attendees will receive a copy of Recoding America, compliments of the Ken & Jacklyn Broad Family Fund.
