[Lwvcnmtopics] LWVCNM Monthly Meeting Thursday June 8th 12- 1pm In person and Zoom - Expanding Civic Engagement Locally

Tue May 30 16:28:40 MDT 2023

JUNE EDUCATIONAL MEETING

*Join us for the inaugural Brown Bag LUNCH & LEARN Series*

*THURSDAY, JUNE 8th, Noon – 1PM*

*You spoke, we listened!* With our membership split between returning to
in-person monthly educational meetings and those who prefer to stay on
Zoom, we have hopefully found a solution that addresses both options: the
hybrid model.

Bring a bag lunch to our LWVCNM Office Conference Room at 6739
Academy Road NE (ample parking), visit with other members, enjoy the
presentation, and stay for a *Dessert Bar*, hosted by the LWVCNM Board.
Prefer the comfort of your home or convenience of your office? The ZOOM
link is below.

*For those attending in-person, please RSVP at 505-884-8441, the LWVCNM
office phone or send an email to lunch at lwvcnm.org <lunch at lwvcnm.org>. *Leave
your name, phone number *(just in case we need to reach you) *and how many
members and/or guests you are registering. Thank you in advance for
registering...as this will help us with the room set up. The Zoom
invitation is at the end of the email.

Expanding Civic Engagement Locally

At our 75th 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 8th 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*

Julie Ornelas teaches 8th grade Social Studies at Tony HIllerman Middle
School in Albuquerque. She has almost 30 years of experience as a classroom
teacher and over the years has taught various Social Studies subjects in
grades 6-12. She was the 2016 New Mexico History Teacher of the Year
sponsored by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. In 2022 she
was selected as a PBS Digital Innovator All Star Educator.  Julie
recently completed two PBS projects on Democracy with a team of educators
from across the country. She strives to make current issues relevant to her
students.

*Doug Small*

Doug is the Civic Engagement Manager and Interfaith Liaison with One
Albuquerque. The Office of Civic Engagement has four primary focus areas:
volunteer engagement which offers a large list of volunteer opportunities

opportunities for students and recent graduates as volunteers to network
and hone their skills, community conversations where residents can engage
with City leaders, and partnerships with nonprofit organizations.
