Another popular feature of the annual ARA conventions is the speaker lineup.

ARA President Tony Mackelprang said, “We will have a group of exceptional guest speakers recognized for their experience and expertise on topics such as the state of our Republican Party, health care, taxation, education and illegal immigration. Are there

more critical topics where the future of our communities, state and nation are concerned?

Additionally, I have asked each speaker to offer recommendations on action we can take,

individually and collectively, to influence these issues for good.”
