Civic Engagement Panel: The Election is Here, Now What?
Oct 28 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Panelist: Christine Newman, Assistant Director, UW Impact 

                    Kim Jones, Executive Vice President, Council for Opportunity in Education

Moderator: Kristian Wiles, Interim Assistant Vice President,  OMA&D Student Success

With only days left leading up to the November 3 voting deadline, one question on the minds of many is what happens post-election. Candidates have sought offices by making promises and engaging constituents on issues for, at least, the past several months. So how do you continue to make your voice heard and influence policy decisions new and re-elected candidates will make? Our panelists will outline strategies for engagement with the Washington State Legislature and US Congress to ensure that you continue to have a voice on issues that matter to you most.
