DAVENPORT, IOWA (January 15, 2021) — The Davenport Public Library is pleased to partner with the Hoover Museum and Presidential Library for this live webinar! Join us Thursday, January 21, 6PM, for "The Origins of the Presidential Cabinet” presented by Dr Lindsay Chervinsky. To register, please visit http://bit.ly/dpl-thirdthursdayjanuary.
The cabinet isn't in the Constitution, but every president since George Washington has worked with a cabinet. So where did it come from? Join Dr Lindsay Chervinsky to learn about the origins of the president's cabinet, how Washington drew on his leadership practices from the Revolutionary War to shape this institution, and the important and often-overlooked legacy he left for his successors. Chervinsky will also explore some of the best and worst cabinets in American history, share how the institution has evolved over time, and why the cabinet still matters today.
