Ion Sancho to lead voter education forum at TCC

[[ Although this is NOT Engineering information per se, the topic is of great interest to all citizens of a representative democracy; therefore, I post it. DJ. ]]

As part of its Black History Month celebration, Tallahassee Community College will host a voter education forum from noon to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, February 19 in the College’s Student Union Ballroom.

With Floridians now looking ahead to November’s general election, the College will offer students, faculty and staff the opportunity to learn about the importance of voting as well as voter’s rights.

Ion Sancho, Leon County Supervisor of Elections, will serve as the forum’s keynote speaker. Sancho is a highly sought-after speaker in the area of voter’s rights and voting protocol. On Tuesday, he’ll educate attendees on the importance of voting and how it relates to what is sure to be an historic 2008 presidential election.

Tom Dinh, TCC’s Student Government Association President, and representatives from TCC’s College Democrats and College Republicans are also slated for Tuesday’s agenda. A brief question and answer session is also scheduled, time permitting.

TCC will offer additional opportunities during the remainder of the month of February to celebrate the accomplishments of African-Americans who have made significant contributions worldwide.
