Lobby Board Applications close today! Our fearless leaders, Hadley Hartsfield and Holly Hollingsworth hopped on to give a little bit of their “why” for this group!
“Being a part of Lobby Board has quickly become one of my favorite involvements at Auburn. From our weekly meetings, events at the Capitol in Montgomery, to sitting down with our state legislators, Lobby Board has given me so many incredible opportunities to learn more about how Auburn is represented at the state level and just how important advocacy and funding for higher education truly are.
What I love most about Lobby Board, though, is the people. We may have different perspectives and backgrounds, but each week after debates, we go to dinner together, giving us a chance to step away from the debate, get to know one another, and build the Auburn family that makes this experience so special. If you’re looking for your sign to apply, this is it! I am so grateful for the friendships and experiences this organization has given me, and I am incredibly excited to lead this year’s group alongside Holly!” - Hadley
“Lobby Board serves as a way to advocate for a university which has fed into me in countless ways. Not only am I serving Auburn right from campus, but due to Lobby Board, I have the unique opportunity to be a voice outside of just Auburn grounds. Whether it’s meeting with legislators to brag on what’s happening on campus or representing Auburn in Montgomery, it’s all an opportunity to love Auburn. With that, I have a huge passion for civil discourse and the need for it on college campuses. Lobby Board is a great opportunity to stretch yourself and grow in your perspective- discussing topics with students with all different backgrounds, ideas, and values. Truly, Lobby Board is a chance to love Auburn, grow community, and stretch yourself” - Holly
