Subject: BADGER FORUM: Who Speaks for Us Now?
From: Columbia Basin Badger Clu



Who Speaks for Us Now?
Thursday, January 16  |  Noon - 1:15PM
Table Talk will follow

Many of those whose vision and hard work guided our area’s growth and development through the Cold War and into the 21st Century are no longer with us. People like Sam Volpentest, Glenn C. Lee, Mary Gallant, Ed Hendler, Billie Jane Lampson, Mike Lawrence, and Gary Peterson, just to name a few.

On Thursday, January 16, the Badger Forum will talk with six next-generation community leaders who will help guide our future. The forum will begin at 12 Noon and conclude at 1:15. Please register here.

Leadership coach Paul Casey will lead the conversation. He currently leads the formal leadership training portion of the Leadership Tri-Cities class experience. Casey is a graduate of Leadership Tri-Cities Class XI.

Joining Casey in the Zoom online event will be Mike Schwenk, Executive Chair of the AWB Institute, former Pasco Mayor Matt Watkins, David Reeploeg, TRIDEC Vice President for Federal Programs, Liz McLaughlin, Leadership Tri-Cities Board Chair, and Michelle Holt, Executive Director of the Benton-Franklin Council of Governments.
