FEATURED EVENT

​Second Annual 
Congressional Luncheon

CHK/Central Boathouse
August 15th 
11:30 - 1:30

Regardless of political party, there has never been a more critical time to keep a pulse on what is happening in our state legislation, both at home and in Washington D.C. 

Join us August, at the CHK/Central Boathouse as we host state and federal elected officials to give an update on the most recent and upcoming legislative  sessions. This year's luncheon will feature keynote speaker, Congresswoman Kendra Horn (CD5). We will also hear from Senator George Young (SD48) and  Representative Mark McBride (HD53). Emceed by the always entertaining and newly elected International Director of Collegiate Affairs Joshua Busby, who brings the perfect balance of humor to the sometimes draining topics of politics, this is going to be an excellent event. We hope to see you there.

The Most Important Count of the Decade

Since 1790, our country has conducted a count of every household in America. The goal of the census is to count every single person, only one, and in the correct place. This includes how many people live or stay at each home, other demographics such as the age, sex, and race of each person. 
"the nation's population, not wealth or land is what is used to divide political power in the country"

  $675 BILLION is at Stake!

Every single year, more then $675 billion dollars are divided up in the form of federal funds, grants, and other support to states, counties, and community's. This money helps to provide funding for schools, hospitals, roads, public works, and other critically important programs. The determination of where to spend this money all relies on the count in the US Census report.
Furthermore, the nation's population, not wealth or land is what is used to divide political power in the country. If we are going to hold elected officials accountable, we must first, provide them with accurate numbers.
