Presentations and Op-ed
The Mike Downs Center for Indiana Politics is asked to give presentations to service clubs, neighborhood associations, non-profit organizations, and other groups. The Director of the Mike Downs Center also writes a monthly column for the Indy Star. The files included on this page are the PowerPoint presentations given to some of those organizations and the Indy Star columns.
The PowerPoint presentations are formatted simply due to the varying backgrounds used by organizations. Also, the presentations are outlines and provide supplemental information to that being spoken. Please contact The Mike Downs Center (downsa@pfw.edu or 260.481.6691) to request a presentation for your organization.
