nonalignment and drive for “strategic autonomy;” its determination to maintain
regional primacy; and, more recently, its surging economy.

Policies
to Alleviate Food Insecurity: A Conversation with U.S. Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack
WHEN:
Friday, April 21
(8:30-10:00am)
WHERE: Brookings Institution, Saul/Zilkha Rooms
DESCRIPTION: Food insecurity impacts one in seven households in the United States and affects families with a range of incomes—two-thirds of food insecure households have incomes above the poverty line. However, the safety net—including the highly effective Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) that lifts tens of millions of people out of poverty—can play an important role in reducing food insecurity. In fact, recent studies have shown that SNAP’s impact extends beyond providing basic nutrition, also improving health outcomes, households’ financial well-being, and even the later-life outcomes of children with access to the program.

Leadership
throughout D6 is integral to our success not only as a District but also as
individual organizations. Identifying and cultivating young leaders encourages
students to take on more active roles in our community. From each school’s
Director Boards and Executive Boards, to District E-Board and external
organizations, there are many opportunities for student leadership. What kind
of leaders are there? How do you engage the general populace effectively? The
roundtable discussions will address these questions, specifically focusing on
culture, media, collaboration, mentorship, and advocacy.
