Description

Public policy impacts everyone, but younger voices are often underrepresented in discussions that establish the laws and policies under which we live. This session of Educate to Elevate will feature a panel of young, elected officials who are ensuring that our voices and viewpoints are considered as public policy is being crafted. Learn why they got involved, the importance of being at the table, and how you can add your voice to the conversation.

Our panel will include three young, dynamic leaders. Representative Brandon Woodard has served in the Kansas Legislature since 2019 and represents portions of Overland Park, Olathe, and Lenexa. Representative Lindsay Vaughn has served in the Kansas Legislature since 2019. Her district includes parts of Overland Park. Logan Heley is president of the Overland Park City Council, a role he has held since 2023. He was first elected to the city council in 2017.

Join us as the young leaders share their stories of leadership and engagement in public service.
