Fattor in Washington DC for Presidential Inauguration

1/20/2005 - Miss Kiley Fattor of Black Hawk has been selected to participate in the Presidential Youth Inaugural Conference in Washington, D.C. from January 16 – 21. Selected for exemplary performance in the classroom and an interest in leadership, Fattor will join nearly 600 other promising young leaders from around the country for the Inauguration of the President of the United States.

  “What makes this such a special engagement is that it only happens every four years, providing future leaders like Kiley Fattor with a front-row seat to take part in the celebration of the man who will lead our country for the next four years,” said Mike Lasday, Executive Director of the Congressional Youth Leadership Council, the organization that sponsors PYIC. “Throughout the six-day conference, Fattor will enjoy the pageantry that accompanies the presidential inauguration in addition to interacting with some of Washington’s top news and policy makers in examining its historical significance.”

  To compliment the busy schedule of special meetings and briefings, Fattor will participate in a highly specialized reality-based simulation to explore the electoral process and various campaign strategies. Students will assume roles as vital campaign operatives with the exercise culminating in an election, the results of which will decide the candidate who best serves as President of the United States.
