Where to Turn After the Storm

Our hearts go out to the victims of  the tornado that struck at least 13 counties including our neighbors Yazoo and Warren Counties. The stories we have heard and the extensive damage we have witnessed on television indicate the magnitude of this tragedy.

The Partnership's Membership and Major Initiatives Divisions will sponsor a Membership Luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, August 11, at the Jackson Hilton. The speaker will be Dr. Marty Wiseman, Director of the Stennis Institute of Government at Mississippi State University. Dr. Wiseman will speak on the topic of “Citizen Government in the Twenty-First Century.”

"The increasing interest in government at all levels and the fact that all state and county elections will be held in 2011 combine to make this a very appropriate topic at this time,” according to Andy Taggart, 2010 Vice Chairman for Major Initiatives. “We are looking forward to this event and will include time on the program for a question and answer session with Dr. Wiseman.”

Wiseman’s presentation will include topics such as the influence of social media in the political process, proposed changes to campaign finance, and other current political trends that will influence the 2010 Congressional elections and 2011 state and county elections. Partnership members are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about applied politics for the business person.

A brief report on current Partnership activities will be given by President Duane O'Neill.

Registration for this event is $28.00 per person and must be paid prior to the event. Payment may be made by mailing a check to Debi Green at P.O. Box 22548, Jackson, MS 39225-2548 or send an e-mail to dgreen@greaterjacksonpartnership.com.

Any member interested in being a sponsor for this event may call Debi Green. at 601-948-7575. Sponsors will receive four (4) tickets to the luncheon, five (5) minutes on the program, and one display table.
