Former Republican state Senate leader turned independent, Jim Hendren, will be participating in a weekend-long conversation about democracy, community, and prosperity in the mid-South at Hendrix College, hosted by the Pulaski Institution. The event will take place on October 19-20 and will feature speakers from around the country, including author Jessica Pishko and journalist Cary Aspinwall.
Hendren, along with fellow Republican-turned-independent Nate Bell and journalist Matt Campbell, will engage in discussions on Arkansas politics and the need for positive change. The conference aims to bring together individuals interested in improving politics, creating more opportunities, and enhancing their communities.
Pulaski Institution President Alan Elrod expressed the organization’s commitment to working in heartland places across the country and helping cultivate relationships between like-minded individuals. Topics at the conference will include rural development, the health of political parties and institutions, and the role of sheriffs in American democracy.
Tickets for the event are currently available at a 50% discount with the code PULASKI2024, and a student discount is also offered with the code STUDENTRATE. The conference promises to be a valuable experience for those seeking to engage in meaningful discussions about the future of democracy and prosperity in the heartland.
