    This past weekend was busy for our leadership and several past winners of the 40 under 40 award who attended #inauguration events, including the Native Nations Inaugural Ball Honoring Native American Veterans, and the #WomensMarchonWashington. No matter whom you supported in the election or what your politics are, we can all agree that the peaceful transition of power and the right to make your voice heard are fundamental tenets of democracy and of our country. The National Center looks forward to being engaged on the important public policy issues that will define our future.
