Last week, the Kemp Forum on Expanding Opportunity brought together Gov. Pat McCrory, Rep. Rob Bryan (R-Mecklenburg), Rep. Ed Hanes (D-Forsyth), Congressman Luke Messer (R-Indiana), and a variety of other notable attendees to discuss upward mobility through education.
The event was a partnership between the Jack Kemp Foundation, the Center for Education Reform, and Opportunity Lives. Learn about the Jack Kemp Foundation here. Learn about the Center for Education Reform here. Learn about Opportunity Lives here.
