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.

Dr. Marty Wiseman, Political Analyst and Director of
the Stennis Institute of Government, will speak at
GJCP Membership Luncheon August 11
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,
