As America flocked to the polls on Election Day (Cordia members did their part and voted early), 
Cordia’s Tuesday Forum program that same day was dedicated to zeroing in on the common ground that we know exists between the “Red” and the “Blue” members within our community. Our engaging discussion was a wonderful reminder of that which we already knew — within the “Purple” there are a lot of commonalities that bring us together.
