For this week's Learn at Lunch, I stopped by the Heritage Foundation to hear a lunch discussion by Representative Steve Scalise (R-LA) on conservative challenges facing the 113th Congress. Representative Scalise is chair of the Republican Study Committee, a "group of House Republicans organized for the purpose of advancing a conservative social and economic agenda in the House of Representatives." I wanted to attend several events at Heritage for some time now. They have great speakers and the forum topics are always relevant to the pressing issues of today. I really wanted to see former Congressman Artur Davis' forum on educational opportunity during school choice week, but couldn't make it to that one in person. The stars finally aligned and I was able to slip away during the lunch hour for this event.
At the risk of it seeming like I've never run across a Learn at Lunch opportunity I didn't like, I would highly recommend checking out the Heritage Foundation for one of their forums. It's no surprise that most of the conservative challenges cited were pretty much everything on the Democrats agenda. But no matter your political persuasion, it's always engaging to listen to accomplished, smart people debate current issues. If you're in D.C. and a wanna-be policy wonk like myself, you'll really be in for a treat. It's also a pretty classy affair. The event auditorium was lovely and they serve a great lunch afterwards. I would definitely recommend checking out the events page to find a topic that interests you!
