Wake County’s most active nonpartisan political group hosts its annual meeting. This is an evening about the big issues we are facing today, and tomorrow and a chance to connect with local political leaders and hear their thoughts the things that will have the biggest impact on Raleigh and the surrounding area.
This is a great opportunity for members and interested citizens to learn about WakeUP Wake County and how YOU can have a voice in shaping the future of our community. We will review our activities from the past year, present awards, and elect new members to the Board. Come meet other Wake County citizens who are passionate about good growth, clean and abundant water resources, transportation alternatives, and quality education!
Speakers will include Wake County Representative Deborah Ross, and Senators Josh Stein and Richard Stevens, who will discuss key legislative successes in 2009, and where we go from here.
