Dr. Radzilowski Speaks at the Annual Quo Vadis Conference
September 08, 2012
On August 25, 2012 Piast Institute President Thaddeus Radzilowski delivered an address to more than 200 delegates from Poland, Canada, and Australia at the annual Quo Vadis Conference held at Downtown Chicago Campus of Loyola University. The presentation focused on the profile of Polonia today developed by the Piast Institute’s 2010 national study and its analysis of the voting behavior of Polish Americans over the past several decades including the election of 2008. He also addressed the organizational structure of the community and its ability to advance the interests of Polonia.
The speech was very well received and the following discussion was extended and wide ranging. An evaluation from one of the Canadian delegates, Martin Arciszewski represented the general feeling of the audience, “I think the work you are doing is critical for us to understand what the face of Polonia actually looks like.”
The Quo Vadis conference brings together young executives, political leaders, and professionals from around the globe to develop the basis for a worldwide network of young leaders and to mobilize their vision and talents through education, networking, and organizational development.
At the end of the conference all participants were given a copy of a special edition of the Piast Institute’s study Polish Americans Today printed for the conference by the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Chicago. An extended and revised copy of the study will be published in 2013 by E. Mellen Press, a major social science publisher.
