In this episode we talk about everything you need to know when voting from registration to elections. Furthermore, we dive deep on how to become an active voter, and how to properly assess your candidates.
Our goal is to offer unbiased fact based information that acts as a starting point for you to get involved and have a larger positive impact on your community. When it comes to civic and community leadership most of us don't know where to start and we definitely don't feel we have all the facts. That’s why each episode of The Civic Leader goes beyond the headlines to bring you facts and data points that will help you understand the role of business, government and its citizens to solve society's greatest challenges.
