The Communications Board names Dean Fealk, Co-Managing Partner of DLA Piper, as a Chief Influencer. 

Dean Fealk discusses the concept of citizen statesperson with Chief Influencer’s Anthony Shop. Fealk defines a citizen statesperson as someone with civic spirit, a desire to drive change, and the ability to leverage technological tools to make a global impact. He emphasizes the importance of these individuals who are making a difference in their communities and beyond.

Fealk stresses the importance of having more people involved in society and contributing to effective government. He emphasizes that being a citizen statesperson doesn't necessarily mean holding an official role in government, but rather continuing to work on issues that are important even after leaving a formal position.

Fealk also discusses the rise of Tech diplomacy and the importance of being proactive in pursuing constructive initiatives. He encourages people to raise their hand and get involved, emphasizing that one doesn't have to create their own organization to participate in citizen diplomacy.
