Leadership Elk Cameron (LEC) participants visited the State Capitol in early May. The group met with Senator Dush and his staff, Representatives Armanini and Causer, and Stacy Garrity, State Treasurer. The Senator and Representatives engaged the group in discussions about how state government functions, how laws are introduced and amended, as well as concerns in our communities and how to address them. The participants learned about the purpose and functions of the State Treasury department and were provided a tour of the Vault of Unclaimed Property. The Vault stores unclaimed tangible property such as coins, jewelry, military medals, and antiques. A guided tour of the State Capitol building was also included in the day.
The goals of Leadership Elk & Cameron are to increase community awareness and understanding, provide opportunities for collaborative leadership and relationship building, and to foster and promote civic readiness. The program begins each year in September and runs one day per month through June. Applications for next year’s class are available at www.communityedcenter.com, or by contacting the CEC at (814) 781-3437.
