The Candidate
A mediator's approach to the people's college.
David Coher's education began at a community college. Scholarships carried him from there to USC and Georgetown Law. He has spent more than two decades helping people solve difficult problems: as a nationally recognized mediator, as an executive who managed large organizations and significant budgets, and as a civic leader across nearly a decade of Pasadena public service. He knows how to bring people together and get to a durable yes.
