Daniel Stid is the Executive Director at Lyceum Labs, a nonprofit that seeks to reimagine the work of politicians in the U.S. He also advises philanthropists working to strengthen civic life, pluralism, and democracy. His fortnightly newsletter, The Art of Association, focuses on these same themes. From 2013 to 2022, Daniel served as the inaugural director of the Hewlett Foundation’s U.S. Democracy Program. Previously, he was a partner at the Bridgespan Group, a management consultant at BCG, and a Congressional Fellow in the office of the House Majority Leader. Daniel chairs the board of More in Common, a nonprofit whose mission is “to understand the forces driving us apart, find common ground, and help bring Americans together to tackle our shared challenges.” He has a B.A. from Hope College, an M.Phil. in politics from Oxford University, and a Ph.D. in government from Harvard University.

I enjoy talking to fellows about… democracy, philanthropy, civil society, nonprofit leadership, vocation, professional development
