JUNE EDUCATIONAL MEETING

Join us for the inaugural Brown Bag LUNCH & LEARN Series

THURSDAY, JUNE 8^th, Noon – 1PM

 

 

Expanding Civic Engagement Locally

At our 75^th anniversary celebration our keynote speaker, Roberta Cooper Ramo, asked the League to advocate for a statewide required course in civic education. By a fortuitous coincidence our monthly meeting on Thursday, June 8^th explores Civic Engagement in the Albuquerque area. 

To find out how this is happening locally we have invited representatives from Albuquerque Public Schools and One Albuquerque.to tell us how each of these entities is engaging students and adult volunteers to take civic responsibility within the community.  We may also get pointers on how the League can assist with their endeavors.

Our panelists are:

Julie Ornelas
