SPEAK is dedicated to the promotion of knowledgeable activity in the areas of local, state and national politics. We emphasize the right of all voices to be heard and hold in the highest esteem the founding principles of our democratic government as they relate to our freedom and liberty. We emphasize the right of all citizens to develop and discuss their personal beliefs and embrace diversity, which has shaped our political system. We believe a two party system creates a balance within government so all voices can be represented and SPEAK’s primary goal is to promote awareness of the necessity of that balance.
SPEAK will accept members of all party affiliations and political backgrounds. Upon joining the club, each member will be assigned to the caucus of his or her party. These caucuses will be responsible for planning and recruiting for speaking engagements and
Multi- partisan activities will be organized through SPEAK’s partisan committees in order to accomplish the club’s goals. Committees organized through the group may support political campaigns.
Activities will include community service projects, 3 major events each year, regular speakers, social events, conferences, political discussions, voting drives.
3 major events will include
1. Fall Conference
2. Spring Conference

Meetings will be structured around a discussion topic related to current events, and speakers to share information on that topic or others important to our goals.
