LOOKING FORWARD TO another great YEAR

2024 was a year of great change in our world and the Badger Club is no exception. We presented fifteen Badger Forums on a broad range of topics this year, ranging from a live presentation from Kyiv with speakers who kept an ear open for air raid sirens. We also hosted one of our best 1:1 debates between the two candidates for Superior Court Judge and a four-person discussion parents' rights when it comes to books in school. 

We heard from top-notch reporters and commentators like Nicholas Kristof and Peter Wehner, who both write for the New York Times. Wehner, a Richland native, also appears in the Atlantic. Perhaps the highlight of the year was the free in-person evening with General Jim Mattis, who served as Donald Trump's first Secretary of Defense.

We start the coming year with an important conversation with people who are stepping up to fill the shoes of people like Sam Volpentest, Mike Lawrence, Gary Peterson, Ed Hendler and others who have shaped our community. It will be Thursday January 16. Register Here
