Charlotte Area Chamber of Commerce recently issued the following announcement.
Join members and guests for the October Lunch Meeting. Come see some familiar faces and meet new connections while enjoying a fabulous lunch at the Hyatt Centric SouthPark.
We will hear from area leaders regarding redistricting and how it will affect Charlotte and North Carolina. City Attorney Patrick Baker, “Mac” McCarley, Partner at Parker Poe, and Eric Heberlig, Ph.D., professor of Political Science and Public Administration at UNC Charlotte will discuss what it means to add a congressional district for North Carolina and the process for redrawing new district lines for Charlotte City Council.
The location of district lines decide which voters vote for which representative. Changing the lines will change the relevant voters, and can change the identity, allegiance, and political priorities of a district’s representative, and of the legislative delegation as a whole.
Date and Time:
Thursday, October 21, 2021 (11:30 AM - 1:00 PM) (EDT)
