CCV is excited to welcome Max Sherman to speak to us via zoom on Sunday, March 21 from 2:30 – 4:00 pm. Max is Professor Emeritus and former Dean of the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to this he served in the Texas State Senate, served as special counsel to the Governor of Texas and was President of West Texas State University. He has also served on numerous state and national committees and boards with experience and interest in higher education, intergovernmental relations, mental health and intellectual disabilities, hazardous waste management, infrastructure needs and financing, and energy and conservation.

Max has written a book entitled Releasing the Butterfly, A Love Affair in Four Acts. Esther Mackintosh, President Emeritus of the Federation of State Humanities Councils says this:

“In Max Sherman’s beautiful book, we are given not only a vivid and indelible portrait of a talented, resolute, and fiercely independent woman, but also a memorable journey, by turns joyous, devastating, instructive, and inspiring. The description of the powerful partnership that sustained Max and Gene Alice through this journey will claim a permanent place in the reader’s mind and heart.”
