Dear Professor Pope:
I am the chair of Americans for Informed Democracy

&e=popekj@uwec.edu&url=http://www.aidemocracy.org/> , a
non-partisan,
non-profit organization that seeks to raise global awareness among the
next generation of American and world leaders. I was in touch with you
during the fall semester to let you know about major conferences our
organization was hosting at Northwestern University and the University
of Minnesota. Those conferences went wonderfully and I am writing now to
let you and your students at UW-Eau Claire know about major conferences
that our organization is hosting in Indianapolis, IN, and Green Bay, WI.
The conferences aim to open a dialogue among young leaders about civic
engagement in the globalized world of the 21st Century. Thanks to the
generous support of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, DarMac Foundation,
and Hewlett Foundation, the conferences (including tuition and meals)
are free for selected students.
If by chance you can share our call for applications for these
conferences with your students at UW-Eau Claire , we would be most
grateful. In addition, we also welcome any faculty or staff at UW-Eau
Claire like yourself who might be interested in joining us for either of
these events.
With many thanks,
Seth Green

with the tools to effectively educate their peers about global issues.

leaders, equipping them with the knowledge, s upport and structure to
implement these ideas in their neck of the woods.
