Please see the attached flyer for our upcoming statewide symposium on intellectual freedom. The main meeting/broadcast site will be at Highland High School. We are excited to have the following regional sites onboard – Heber City, Blanding, Richfield, Price and Cedar City. We are still working out logistics to broadcast to the Uintah Basin, Grand County and Logan and other areas which have all shown interest in having local meetings. We can arrange for more sites if there is interest.
