Initial Guest in Presidential Lecture Series Line-Up
Pleasant Hill, IA
- The FAMiLY LEADER begins its Presidential Lecture Series Monday,
February 7, making three stops in a one-day tour of Iowa with former
Governor Tim Pawlenty.
Each
month, beginning February 7 through August 1, a nationally-known
political figure will visit three campus locations in a single
day. At
each stop, the national figure will be exposed to a roundtable of
community leaders, followed by a pro-family lecture open to the
public. The lectures will be delivered at Dordt College in Sioux
Center, Pella Christian High School in Pella, and the University of
Iowa in Iowa City.
The
primary purpose of the Presidential Lecture Series is to provide the
national figures with a pre-planned, full day in Iowa to introduce them
to Iowans and to give citizens an educational opportunity to become
better informed on the pro-family vision of each lecturer. The
lectures will be videotaped, emailed to our comprehensive database, and
posted on
www.TheFamilyLeader.com
website to allow all interested citizens the opportunity to hear and
watch the lectures.
“We are excited to host former Governor Tim Pawlenty to kick-off our
Presidential Lecture Series”, said Bob Vander Plaats, President and CEO
of The FAMiLY LEADER. “This
series is key in educating supporters on pro-family visions from
respected national leaders.” We are thrilled to play a part in
this
educational process.”
