U.S. Senator Tim Scott moderates discussion with lawmakers, leaders and activists

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 26, 2016

WASHINGTON, DC — The Center for Education Reform has teamed up with the Jack Kemp Foundation to elevate the national conversation on expanding parent power, a critical step toward upward mobility for all Americans, particularly our youth.

The Kemp Forum on Expanding Opportunity event will be streamed live from Indianapolis, IN on staging.edreform.com at 7:00pm – 8:30pm Wednesday, July 27th.

Originally designed to connect local, state and federal lawmakers with grassroots leaders in states tackling these issues with success, the Indiana event was expected to feature Governor Mike Pence, but he has had to cancel due to his new duties on the national campaign trail.

In addition to Sen. Scott, we are pleased to host the following participants:

  • Senator Leah Vukmir, State of Wisconsin, District 5
  • Representative Tim Kelly, State of Michigan, District 94
  • Robert L. Woodson, Founder & Pres., Center for Neighborhood Enterprise
  • Jacqueline Cissell, Director of Community Engagement in Indiana
  • Carol D’Amico, Exec. VP, National Engagement & Philanthropy, USA Funds
