I’m heading over to the Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center for a discussion at 3 p.m. with 11 other distinguished panelists at the Power to Change the World summit. I’ve never been part of a panel so large and with so much star power, so it should be a fun and interesting experience. I’m particularly looking forward to seeing pollster John Zogby from my native Utica.
