• Experts: 9 AM to 11:30 AM

Doing Democracy Day is a multi-community, multi-school event devoted to students wrestling with local issues, using local leaders (like you) as live resources.  DDD has been a success due to the participation of local leaders and public servants.  Please mark your calendars and RSVP by completing this form or to Kentwillmann@gmail.com 

Most leaders are needed between 9:30-11:30am to serve as live resources for students.  Others are needed as judges from 12:15-3pm.  Local leaders, educators, public servants and community members from all St. Vrain communities are invited to share their expertise and opinions as live resources for students (no advanced preparation is necessary).  

We know you are busy, so we have focused the time for local leader participation.
