GK Members Invited to the Collegiate Presidential Inaugural Conference in Washington, DC

It is our great pleasure to announce that Golden Key International Honour Society members have been selected to take part in the splendor and ceremony surrounding the Inauguration of the President and Vice President of the United States!
As a member of Golden Key, you are invited to attend the Collegiate Presidential Inaugural Conference taking place in Washington, D.C. on January 19-23, 2013 during the Presidential Inaugural celebration!
Golden Key members were chosen for this unique and historic event exclusively through our partnership with the Presidential Inaugural Conference, a non-partisan organization that shares our commitment to the highest standards in education.  We are excited to offer you this opportunity.
By attending the Presidential Inaugural Conference, you will travel to Washington, D.C. and share in five remarkable days of activities and events commemorating the Presidential Inauguration.
You will take part in special Keynote and Plenary Speaker presentations with Jeb Bush and Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr., debates and candid dialogue between prominent political analysts from both sides of the aisle and your fellow Inaugural Scholars, and you will discover the history behind the electoral process. Program activities will enable you to showcase your knowledge of the political process, hone your public speaking skills and network with peers and political experts.  Historians and leading decision makers “on the inside” and “in the news” will present thought-provoking perspectives on campaign strategy and presidential politics.
On Inauguration Day, you will be in our nation’s capital as the President and Vice President of the United States of America are sworn into office, and you will witness the richness of tradition surrounding the inauguration.
A Gala Inaugural Celebration exclusively for you and your fellow Collegiate Inaugural Scholars, where you will enjoy great food and dance the night away, is the culmination of this historic event.
If you have any questions about the Collegiate Presidential Inaugural Conference, check their web site at www.inauguralscholar.com/collegiate or call their Office of Admissions at (866) 266-1381.
Congratulations, Golden Key members on the opportunity to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime, historic experience!
