Lunch With Leaders Event

The Red River Valley held a successful “Lunch with Leaders” event held September 23 at the Marriott Convention Center in Moorhead. Ten students attended the event keynoted by Speaker of the House Margaret Anderson Kelliher (MN) and Senator Judy Lee (ND). Our speakers had inspiring stories to tell and “words of wisdom” to share regarding their experiences running for and holding office.

With the generous support of our business sponsors, our speakers and those that attended, we will be able to continue our work in non-partisan civic engagement including sponsorship of candidate forums, the Freedom Lecture and leadership development activities. We also hope to have a sequel event in the fall of 2010.
