The Niche Agency Presents: #PackTheTrack - Social Capital is Currency

          With its second class of candidates under its belt, the program partnered with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to host a keynote speaker series during the iconic Indy 500 qualifier weekend.

The Niche Agency has curated the Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series, a seminar and leadership training program, that provides the preparation and resources needed to increase engagement in the democratic process among leaders across Indiana. The program is open to all backgrounds and all ages in Indiana as they work to bring under-represented communities into civic leadership.

With its second class of candidates under its belt, the program partnered with the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to host a keynote speaker series during the iconic Indy 500 qualifier weekend. During this event, we not only learn about the speakers themselves, but we also learn how to be ahead of the pack in the race for equality and change.

At the seminar, Jimmie McMillian talks about his life story, how he joined the IMS, and what it means to him. Whitley Yates talks about the diversity program and how she formed her path to becoming a part of the GOP. She also mentions how the mayor of Kokomo helped her fund her program. The event came to an end with Mike leading a critical conversation about social capital, the impact it’ll have in the future, and why it’s essential.
