Government & Community Affairs Luncheon - May 2024
Registrations are required for this luncheon. Please register via this event page OR by emailing Jared Martin, The Chamber Events Coordinator, at jmartin@LawrenceChamber.com.
For May's luncheon, we are pleased to welcome Jamie Shew, Douglas County Clerk/County Election Officer, for an informative discussion on upcoming elections. Topics will include information on the new County Commission Districts, and November’s vote on new City Commission Districts and directly-elected Mayor. Currently in his fourth term in office, Jamie Shew has achieved Master County Clerk status in Kansas and earned national Certified Election Registration Administrator status in 2017. We look forward to a robust and interesting discussion and will save time for questions.
Thank you to our current GCA Sponsor!
