A non-partisan, non-political civic education forum focusing on the many important roles that Jefferson County’s elected public officials play in our community will be held at 7:00 PM at Fisherman’s Hall in Charles Town, WV on the evening of January 24, 2018. Neal Barkus, Esq. will moderate the information-based forum, which will include several Jefferson County officials – a magistrate, circuit & family court judges, the prosecuting attorney, and the sheriff. The panelists will discus the duties and responsibilities of their offices rather than specific political issues and participate in a Q&A session. The program is free and open to the public.
The forum is the first 2018 event in the ongoing civic education series that launched last fall with several successful events at the Robert C. Byrd Center for Congressional History and Education. The series was developed through the cooperative efforts of the Byrd Center for Congressional History and Education, Shepherd University’s Lifelong Learning program, the League of Women Voters of Jefferson County, the Jefferson County Branch of the NAACP, the Republican Party of Jefferson County, the Libertarian Party of West Virginia, and the Mountain Party (the WV affiliate of the U.S. Green Party).
A second forum focusing on Jefferson County’s administrative officials is being planned for March.
Fisherman’s Hall is located at 321 SW Street, Charles Town, WV.
