<br><br><div>I am writing to encourage you to send some of your young women to the Women's Debate Institute. It is in Minnesota and runs from August 7-10. <a href="http://womensdebateinstitute.org/" target="_blank">http://womensdebateinstitute.org/</a> They teach both policy and LD.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I taught there a few years ago and am back again this year as a volunteer because I believe in their mission. Their goal is to help close the gender gap in debate by connecting young women with positive role models (each girl is assigned a year long mentor after the camp). The instruction is also just very good. Ana Nikolic, Carly Wunderlich, Christine Malumphy, and Kate Shuster are a few of the teachers that might be familiar to Georgia students. </div>
