The Sorensen Institute is proud to announce the graduation of the Candidate Training Program Class of 2008.
For the first time in the nearly 10-year history of the program, our Candidate Training Program was held at James Madison's Montpelier near Orange. The facilities and setting proved to be a big hit among the participants.
This year's CTP class included four Sorensen alumni: Brandon Hudson and Charniele Herring (Political Leaders Program Class of 2006), and Terron Sims and Vance Ayres (Political Leaders Program Class of 2007).
