2023 Kid Governor® Leadership Summit
The Connecticut Democracy Center hosted the 2023 Kid Governor® Leadership Summit on Saturday, March 11. The Kid Governors, Cabinet Members, and Executive Councilors of Connecticut, Georgia, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and Oregon met virtually and connected across states. The student leaders discussed their platforms and heard from guest speakers about the theme of “teamwork.” Guest speakers included Badiki Ebenja from the National Governors Association, teacher and former broadcaster Bryan DeNovellis, and Deputy Oregon Secretary of State Cheryl Myers. The students left empowered to work as teams in their own states as they advance their platforms this year!
