With uncivil behavior on the rise in the political, celebrity, and public arenas, now is a perfect time to remind ourselves why it's important to choose civility in our daily interactions.

The Symposium also features remarks by U.S. Congressman Elijah Cummings and Howard County Executive Ken Ulman, four breakout sessions, and presentation of the inaugural Choose Civility Awards.
