With Election Day approaching, join the South Bend Regional Chamber for an engaging, nonpartisan conversation about the importance of civic participation and local leadership. A panel of community leaders and public affairs experts will discuss why voting matters, how local elections shape our daily lives, and the key issues facing our region. From county government to school boards and beyond, learn how informed voters help build stronger communities and why collaboration across perspectives is essential to effective leadership. Whether you're a regular voter or simply want to better understand the impact of local government, this discussion will provide valuable insight before you head to the polls.

- Elizabeth Bennion, Chancellor’s Professor of Political Science and Director of Community Engagement at Indiana University South Bend
