Amy McGuffin, executive director of the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce, urged the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners on July 21 to support the Chamber’s planned participation in the U.S. Civics Bee for students in grades 6–8, saying the Chamber recently held a workshop for prospective candidates that was “very successful.”
The request came during the public comment portion of the Office Administration meeting. McGuffin asked the board to consider backing the Chamber’s effort to engage middle-school students in civics education and competitions; the minutes record the request but show no formal action or vote in response during the session.
The Chamber’s Civics Bee would target students in grades 6–8 and follows the Chamber’s recruitment and candidate-preparation activities described in the comment. No funding request, memorandum of understanding or timeline was recorded in the meeting minutes, and the board did not schedule a follow-up item during the session.
