Chason @ the Inauguration!


I am happy to report that our very own Sibak Chason Robinson arrived at the Junior Presidential Youth Inaugural Conference (JrPYIC) in Washington, D.C. and has been immersed within the Conference's busy schedule. Throughout the course of his time there at JrPYIC, Chason will explore Washington, D.C. while experiencing an enriching curriculum.


Chason's JrPYIC experience culminated today, Tuesday as he helped the nation welcome its 44th President, Barack Obama, by witnessing the inauguration firsthand!


On previous nights, keynote addresses were given to Chason and his fellow scholars. Chason heard from author and world class adventurer Erik Weihenmayer one night. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell on another! Powell addressed Chason and his peers with a truly memorable speech. And finally the keynote speakers featured former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Al Gore. Chason and his fellow scholars were lucky enough to hear an inspiring message of hope from former Vice President Gore. When you next speak with Chason, be sure to ask him what he took away from today's speech and other activites.


We congratulate Chason for participating in such a monumental, historical and inspiring moment in our generation! We will get his feedback and thoughts on the experience and post that for you soon!
Until then...check out the site below for more information on Chason's awesome experience.
