​The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival is pleased to announce that writer and civic advocate, Pete Davis, will speak at the Valley Health Business at the Bloom presented by Top of Virginia Regional Chamber. The luncheon will be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, May 3, 2023, at the Tolley Dental Zone in the James R. Wilkins, Jr. Athletics & Events Center on the campus of Shenandoah University.  Davis is the author of Dedicated: The Case for Commitment in an Age of Infinite Browsing and co-producer of Join or Die, a feature documentary on community in America.  
 
Pete resides in Falls Church, Virginia where he works on civic projects aimed at deepening American democracy and solidarity.  He is the co-founder of the Democracy Policy Network, a state policy organization focused on raising up ideas that deepen democracy.  In 2015, he co-founded Getaway, a company that provides simple, unplugged escapes to tiny cabins outside of major cities.  His 2018 Harvard Law School graduation speech, “A Counterculture of Commitment,” has been viewed more than 30 million times. 
 
Pete is also the author of Our Bicentennial Crisis: A Call to Action for Harvard Law School’s Public Interest Mission, a book on reviving Harvard Law School’s public interest mission, and the co-author of How To Get Away: Finding Balance in our Overworked, Overcrowded, Always-On World, a book articulating Getaway’s philosophy of balancing technology and disconnection, city and nature, and work and leisure. His opinion pieces have appeared in The New York Daily News, Aeon, The Guardian, Fast Company, America Magazine, and The Falls Church News-Press.
